See the [[staging|staging page]] if you'd like to help us test them.

-  ​make+  make

-This will generate bootable images for floppy diskCD-ROM, and USB key, which is the best way to get started experimenting with gPXE.+You may need to set the value in the line 59 of src/​arch/​i386/​Makefile correctly (/​usr/​share/​syslinux/​isolinux.bin)apparently ​the reference ​to /​usr/​lib/​syslinux/​isolinux.bin is incorrect, this has not been tested in other distros. ISOLINUX_BIN config has been missing for a while.
  
-=== Updating source code ===+----
  
-To update your downloaded source tree at any time, use+=== Etherboot 5.4 and older releases ===
  
-  $ git pull+Source code for Etherboot 5.4 (our legacy bootloader, in maintenance-only mode) is available at [[http://git.etherboot.org/?​p=etherboot.git]].
  
-This will fetch the latest changes and apply them to your tree.  This command will work only if you obtained your source ​tree using ''​git clone'';​ if you downloaded a tarball then the only way to update your tree is to download a new tarball.+The source ​code for older Etherboot releases ​is available from [[http://​sourceforge.net/​project/​showfiles.php?​group_id=4233&​package_id=4250]]
  
-=== Source code for old versions === 
  
-Should you want it, the source code for the old Etherboot-5.4 release is available from [[http://​git.etherboot.org/?​p=etherboot.git]].
