| + | ===== Source Code Documentation ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Many parts of the gPXE code-base include commenting for use with the Doxygen system. To build this documentation for browsing, go into gPXE src/ directory and do | ||
| + | make doc | ||
| + | You will then have the documentation available in your gpxe/src/bin/doc/ directory. | ||

| + | A sample build is available [[http://www.etherboot.org/share/sha0/gpxe/src/bin/doc/html/modules.html|here]]. (This link might change.) | ||

| + | === NBI, Etherboot and Linux 2.6 === | ||
| + | Unfortunately, mknbi cannot be used to make a NBI of a Linux 2.6 (or newer) kernel image. If you are tied to Etherboot but need to boot a Linux 2.6 or newer kernel, wraplinux must be used to create a working NBI. Follow the link to [[http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/wraplinux|wraplinux]] on kernel.org to download it. | ||
