Now we're getting somewhere.  I have CC'ed the gpxe at etherboot.org list
because I don't have time to answer you individually, and someone else
might be able to help better.  I hope you don't mind.

I don't know if you can just extract debian or ubuntu kernels and
initrds  from .ISOs and boot them.  Even if you can, what would you
expect them to do for filesystem?

Have you looked at http://boot.kernel.org/  or http://netboot.me/ ?

I think both of these might have network bootable distributions that
gPXE can boot via http.

I recommend you keep asking questions, but also give information about
what you have tried and what has worked and not worked so people can
help you.

Simply saying "I tried booting X and it didn't work" is likely to get no
help because there is nothing specific enough to help you fix.

Show some sample input, output, and describe how to reproduce the
problem.  Here's a useful guide:

No problem.  Keep working on your English.  It will get better.
