[gPXE] Can't figure out why this won't work

[John H]

Thanks, I figured out what I was doing wrong. Basically I
misunderstood how gpxe worked. What I was trying to do is install
ubuntu over the network using something like BKO. I didn't realize the
instructions were to install/boot over my own network. Once I dl the
gpxe.dsk from BKO I realized how it works and I was good to go.
