Hi Per, iPXE is the new name for gPXE. Google Tech Talk video about gPXE and Etherboot is on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GofOqhO6VVM I was doing some testing with gPXE at the weekend. Some notes here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/leaf/index.php?title=Bering-uClibc_4.x_-_User_Guide_-_Appendices_-_Hints_and_Tips_for_Network_Booting Specifically, using gPXELINUX rather than PXELINUX. dMb ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
