 ====== Booting gPXE from a memory stick partition with SYSLINUX ======
-Much like the howto [[:usbwithstorage]], this will guide you through installing gPXE on your flash drive (or any other FAT/ext234/btrfs partition for that matter) without losing ability to store files on it. In fact, using EXTLINUX or SYSLINUX, it's possible to use this method to make almost any medium gPXE-bootable.

 **Warning:** Following this guide is generally quite safe, but if you have important data on your USB stick, you may want to make a backup first just to be safe.

 I'll leave this part mostly down to you. It's probably available in your distribution's package manager, but if not, you can get it from http://syslinux.zytor.com
+NOTE: I'd highly recommend the latest official pre-compiled package (Yes, it's been a source/binary package since the beginning).  See also [[http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/Common_Problems#Official_Binaries|Official Binaries]]  -GeneC
