[gPXE] Long Shot

[Maria McKinley]

Having technical difficulties. Okay, here is the correct mailing list:

http://etherboot.org/mailman/listinfo/gpxe

And, I am forwarding your message to them, as I'm not an expert on
these things, I've just written up my experiences using gpxe to help
myself and any one else that may find it useful.

cheers,
maria

 Okay I'm not really clear about this.  And I'm not sure your the one to ask.

I've flashed  a couple NIC's with gxpe   and can boot from  boot.kernel.org
I've got a LTSP server up and running .


I was under the impression that gpxe over http would be faster than pxe tftp.

So I'm trying to setup a HTTP server.

I don't quite get the  image part.

Loading  a iso over http can't be quick ?

Seems like that norm is to extract a kernel and initrd and point it to a iso.

Is there a prefered method , or is this mainly used as a way to
install linux again.

Would accessing the pxelinux files that ltsp creates be the quick
booting method for gpxe over http.


Taking a  break
