9 | AristotlePagaltzis | 3 | A way of booting computers over the network, much the same as Etherboot. Most modern adapters support [PXE] now, although they generally still need to have the PXE [BIOS] enabled for this to work. |

9 | AristotlePagaltzis | 11 | If you have a [PXE]-bootable card, and a compliant motherboard [BIOS], it will boot off [PXE] just fine. You can see it trying to do this as the machine boots – it might prompt to boot off the [NIC], or it might say something about [DHCP], or so on. |

9 | AristotlePagaltzis | 13 | If for some reason your machine won't boot via [PXE], you can try this [(untested) image of a PXE-on-disk bootdisk | http://www.wlug.org.nz/archive/PXE/pxebootdisk.img]. To create a disk with it, issue <tt>dd if=pxebootdisk.img of=/dev/fd0</tt>. |

9 | AristotlePagaltzis | 15 | The next step, of course, is to making your [PXE]-booting machine do something… PXELINUX, which is part of SysLinux, will help you out here. PXES (mentioned on the DisklessWorkstationNotes page) also makes use of [PXE]. |
