====== Howto use gPXE with the Asus Eeepc 900 ======

  - Compile undi.usb:<code> cd gpxe.git/src; make bin/undi.usb </code>Or if you are lazzy download a [[http://zoobab.wikidot.com/local--files/eeepc/undi.usb|binary version here]].
  - Copy it to a USB key (your key is seen as sdc by linux, change it in function of yours): <code> dd if=bin/undi.usb of=/dev/sdc </code>
  - Put the USB key in one slot of the Eeepc
  - Go to the BIOS settings at boot (press F2 at the BIOS)
  * Go to the "Boot" tab
  * Check if the "Onboard LAN Boot ROM" is [Enabled]
  * Go to the "Hard Disk Drives" menu and put the [USB:1G USB2.0Flash] device as the "1st Drive" with the + button and press Esc to go back to the previous menu
  * Go to the "Boot Device Priority" menu and put the [USB:1G USB2.0Flash] as the "1st Boot Device"
  * Go to the "Exit" tab and press "Exit & Save Changes" by answering "OK" to this question.
  - Then the Eeepc should be able to boot on the USB key.
  - While it starts, type Ctrl-B to get a shell and try <code>dhcp net0</code>, it should give you an IP address if you have a DHCP server on your network.
  - Then try to load a linux kernel (it can takes up to 2 minutes, be patient)<code>kernel http://etherboot.org/gtest/gtest.pxe</code> and then type <code>boot</code>
