The "mknbi" (make NBI) utility performs tje wrapping operation. **Note:** This is not needed for PXE and PXELINUX booting, and is not recommended for new users. For new users, we recommend using [[http://syslinux.zytor.com|PXELINUX]] For those who need to use the NBI format, please see: * [[mknbi|mknbi utility description and manpage]] ===== Developer Information ===== * [[dev:devmanual|A somewhat dated Etherboot Developers' manual]] (does not cover recent versions of Etherboot, or gPXE) * [[dev:todo|A Developer To-Do List]] * [[dev:netdriverapi|gPXE Network Driver API]]
