| 1 | PerryLorier | 1 | Pxe Anything is a project by PerryLorier. This page was created to keep notes for things I discovered along the way that I thought might be useful to the general public (and important for me to remember). |

| 5 | LawrenceDoliveiro | 3 | The idea with PxeAnything is to have a server somewhere out on the Internet that speaks tftp and http, and lets any machine on the Internet to boot off it. It should provide a handful of netinst images for various distros, as well as a [FreeDOS|http://www.freedos.org/] image. The freedos image should be nice enough to let you select what you want to do (flash your bios? install a linux distro?) and figure out how to boot that from within freedos. This should be a public service to anyone who wants to use it. No more fiddling around finding CDrom drives, or making bootable USB keysticks. |

| 6 | PerryLorier | 5 | One flaw with this plan is that you do need some way to tell the machine to use this tftp server, so you will probably need to configure the local [DHCP] server to hand out a second stage pointing at the remote [PXE] server. |

| 8 | !!Net booting ISO generator | ||

| 10 | Very useful for kvm/qemu that doesn't have a PXE server bios to test with! Note, kvm/qemu do now have PXE roms. | ||

| 12 | !!Crynwr packet drivers | ||

| 1 | PerryLorier | 14 | Still around! Includes e100 drivers. |

| 16 | !!TCP/IP stuff for freedos | ||

| 1 | PerryLorier | 22 | Lets you boot linux (+initrd) from freedos. Should be enough to let netbooting work. |
| 3 | PerryLorier | 23 | |
| 24 | !!MemDisk | ||
| 25 | http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/MEMDISK | ||
| 6 | PerryLorier | 26 | Part of [SYSLINUX], lets you [PXE] a [FreeDOS] image. Looks like it might be |
| 27 | easiest to [PXE] PXELinux, have a menu in that to select what you want, from there either grab an netinst image, or memdisk with freedos on it. | ||

| 29 | !!HX Extender | ||
| 30 | http://www.japheth.de/HX.html | ||
| 31 | This lets you run many MS Windows console apps inside DOS. Neat. | ||
