| 20:18.10 | gentlesea2 | hi. i want to restore a sony laptop with defect cdrom building a pxe-server. |
| 20:18.21 | gentlesea2 | is that theoretically possible? |

| 20:36.56 | ScytheBlade1 | gentlesea2: it is possible, yes |
| 20:37.47 | gentlesea2 | i just saw that i have to use a disk for that |
| 20:37.52 | gentlesea2 | is it also possible without disk? |
| 20:38.14 | gentlesea2 | i mean my sony laptop has the option booting from network |
| 20:38.16 | gentlesea2 | is that pxe? |
| 20:38.23 | ScytheBlade1 | "Maybe" |
| 20:38.34 | ScytheBlade1 | There are at least three different methods of "booting from the network" that I know of |
| 20:38.40 | ScytheBlade1 | None of them are compatiable with each other |
| 20:38.48 | gentlesea2 | which ones? |
| 20:39.01 | ScytheBlade1 | PXE, "DHCP" and the Novell stuff |
| 20:39.24 | ScytheBlade1 | Then you have all of the software based methods which load from the local computer and then pull data from the network |
| 20:40.22 | gentlesea2 | the second is often sold as pxe also i read |
| 20:40.45 | gentlesea2 | so how would you try finding out what booting from network means in that case? |
| 20:40.55 | gentlesea2 | setting up a pxe-server and trying? |
| 20:41.02 | gentlesea2 | or is there another more simple option? |
| 20:41.05 | ScytheBlade1 | Expirment with wireshark and that right there, yes |
| 20:42.28 | gentlesea2 | ok, thanks for the advice. |
