Hi Stephan, Thanks for replying.
I overlooked a solution that was implemented by Michael Brown (in 2007.08.02):
when using the chainloading gPXE, the uri base path will be stored, and used by the chain command if a full path to the image is not specified.
this means I can put a script for each OS in the tftp folder where gPXE is located (let's assume win7.gpxe is one of the scripts) and enter:
> dhcp net0
> chain win7.gpxe

and that's all, I don't have to be bothered with entering full url. this is a big improvement for me!

Thanks for the assistance,
Tal Aloni
