What we will look at
1. What is PXELinux
2. DHCP Configuration 3. Confirm the Installation Server Source 4. Installing PXE and TFTP 5. Populate the TFTP Directory 6. Configure and Test PXE
PXE Linux provides us with a mini boot system to allow the NIC to attach to a network server to download an Operating System. It comes from the SYSLINUX package that consists of three siblings programs:-
1. SYSLINUX: provides the binaries required to boot from USB
2. ISOLINUX: provides the binaries required to boot from DVD / CD 3. PXELINUX: provides the binaries required to boot from the network
PXE, Preboot eXecution Environment, is the process of the network boot, this requires not only the PXE Server but network cards and a BIOS that support PXE. PXELinux is the bootstrap file that is delivered via the PXE process to the host machine. http://beginlinux.com/desktop/opensuse/opensuse-pxe-boot
