-Dynamically compiled ​gPXE or Etherboot ​images are available from:+Prebuilt ​gPXE images are available from [[http://​rom-o-matic.net/​]]. ​ Images can be generated from official gPXE releases or from the current development tree.  This is probably the easiest way to get started with gPXE.

-A complete build of gPXE or Etherboot requires the ''​syslinux''​ and ''​mtools''​ packages in your development environment. ''​syslinux''​ is required in order to create ISO images. On RedHat/​Fedora systems you can install ​the packages ​by saying: +A complete build of gPXE or Etherboot requires the ''​syslinux''​ and ''​mtools''​ packages in your development environment. ​ ''​syslinux''​ is required in order to create ISO images. On RedHat/​Fedora systems you can install ​these packages using:
- +
-  $ sudo yum install syslinux mtools +
- +
-Once you have the code, you can do a complete build of gPXE using using: +
- +
-  $ cd gpxe/src +
-  $ make +
- +
-or for Etherboot:​ +
- +
-  $ cd etherboot/​src +
-  $ make +
- +
-=== Updating source code === +
- +
-To update your downloaded source tree at any time, use +
- +
-  $ git pull+
  
-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.+  sudo yum install syslinux mtools
  
-=== Source code for old versions ​of Etherboot ===+You can then do a complete build of gPXE using:
  
-Should you want it, the source code for older Etherboot releases is available from:+  cd gpxe/src 
 +  make
  
-  ​[[http://​sourceforge.net/​project/​showfiles.php?​group_id=4233&​package_id=4250]]+**Centos 5 Fedora 11 Notes**
  
 +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.
  
 +----
  
 +=== Etherboot 5.4 and older releases ===
  
 +Source code for Etherboot 5.4 (our legacy bootloader, in maintenance-only mode) is available at [[http://​git.etherboot.org/?​p=etherboot.git]].
  
 +The source code for older Etherboot releases is available from [[http://​sourceforge.net/​project/​showfiles.php?​group_id=4233&​package_id=4250]]
