[gPXE] Fwd: Boot very slow or not boot

[Milton Labanda]

I not yet test your suggestions about gpxe script because i
want have clear the following.
I want begin testing Damm Small Linux, have in a gpxe/dsl directory
I followed the  *appnoted - Etherboot-gPXE Wiki - how boot operating
system.htm* instructions at the
etherboot oficial site, but it not mention needed scripts to boot.
Then i am specifyng only the filename : filename "gpxe/menu.gpxe" at the  *
dhcpd.conf*
The menu.gpxe say:

#!gpxe
chain menu.c32 menu.cfg

So you say me need to tell gPXE to load two files by using the second
gPXEscript I, but
 i think my *menu.cfg* tell thouse  syslinux in this way:

prompt 0
allowoptions 0
menu rows 6

menu title "gPXE Server: Choose a Operating System"

label _
      menu label NetBoot Live Systems
      menu disable

label DSL
      menu label ^1 DSL
      menu indent 1
      kernel dsl/linux24
      append  init=/etc/init root=/dev/sda1 lang=us vga=791
initrd=dsl/minirt24.gz quiet

The *minirt24.gz*  (initrd) and *linux24* (kernel) i extrated from a *
dsl-4.4.10-initrd.iso*  image
i believe its ready to boot. On purpose where i can get the images
like *ubuntu-initrd.img
*or *debian-initrd.img*
that appears in the appnotes?
