The client machine you are testing with, supports PXE bootingand you know how to enable it.Recommendations, Assumptions and Prerequisites In this guide, we will lay the foundations which we will build upon in future articles. This guide will be the first of a series of guides about PXEing. Note: In this video, the deprecated UDA project is used as the base for the server, and the annotations were aimed to explain to a friend the (at the time) recent additions made to it. Also, below is a video of a setup from 2008 that quickly goes over some of the boot possibilities. For a more in depth explanation of the entire process, its history and some of the infrastructure options it and gPXE (which is a more evolved cousin) enable, see this lecture on YouTube from their developers. In a sense, it is the secret ingredient that enables us to perform all of the above and then some. Using the “ PXElinux” NBP, it is possible to setup the server for more then just one PXE boot program for our clients.
Power on –> BIOS –> Network Card’s PXE stack –> Network Boot Program (NBP) downloaded using TFTP from server to Client’s RAM –> NBP’s responsibility to perform the next step (a.k.a.
