| - | ===== Overview ===== | ||
| - | My goals for the summer are: | ||
| - | - To update a legacy Etherboot driver to the gPXE API | ||
| - | - To port a Linux driver to gPXE | ||
| - | ===== Status Log ===== | + | ^ Quick info ^^ |
| - | The following is a log of steps I've taken. Note that I don't use Linux on a daily basis. Any terminal commands below are for my reference. | + | | Timezone | UTC - 4 | |
