====== HowTo Guides ====== This page contains guides to performing a variety of network booting tasks. You'll need to [[download]] and build gPXE before trying most of them. ===== How to deploy gPXE ===== There are three typical deployment scenarios for gPXE. * New users should probably use either a [[removable|bootable floppy disk]], a [[removable|bootable CD-ROM]], or a [[removable|bootable USB key]]; this is the quickest way to get started with gPXE. * Network card manufacturers, OEMs, and seasoned users probably want to try [[romburning|burning gPXE into the network card]], or [[biosext|adding gPXE to the BIOS]]. * Users with existing large PXE deployments may want to [[pxechaining|chainload gPXE from an existing PXE ROM]]. ===== How to boot from a web server ===== gPXE can boot from a web server just as easily as from a TFTP server. Web servers typically scale better than TFTP servers, and don't suffer from the file size limitations and other problems that plague TFTP booting. * [[httpboot|HTTP boot]] ===== How to boot from SAN ===== Boot from SAN is the process of booting from a remote disk, using a protocol such as iSCSI or AoE. It can be used to boot operating systems that do not generally support network booting, such as Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP. * [[sanboot|Boot from SAN]] * [[iscsiboot|iSCSI boot]] * [[aoeboot|ATA-over-Ethernet boot]]
