| 20:43.13 | Mick27 | lol |
| 20:43.28 | Mick27 | my question was can I boot an iso with pxe, I guess I have my answer now |
| 20:44.04 | Mick27 | but if someone happen to have an idea on how to install from the pxe server and not a net install |
| 20:44.16 | Mick27 | I'd be happy yo hear it |
| 22:25.27 | GGD | hey Mick27 |
| 22:39.34 | Nirkus | hi |
| 22:39.41 | Nirkus | Mick27: ??? |
| 22:43.52 | Nirkus | GGD: i havent head about BartPE being able to boot as a PXE Network Boot Program/Loader |
| 22:44.24 | Nirkus | GGD: maybe, it would be possible to load an BartPE image into RAM and bootstrap it using pxelinux |
| 22:45.04 | GGD | oh? i have seen it under booting from USB.. |
| 22:45.06 | Nirkus | GGD: you should try the Bart PE team about that and feel free to inform us afterwards :) |
| 22:45.20 | GGD | could that be hybrided to do PXE? |
| 22:45.34 | GGD | is there a Bart PE team or channel? |
| 22:45.40 | Nirkus | GGD: what boot loader does ist use on USB? |
| 22:45.49 | GGD | syslinux |
| 22:45.51 | GGD | i think |
| 22:46.06 | Nirkus | GGD: there should be a team as the software wont write itself :) |
| 22:46.15 | GGD | LOL :) true |
| 22:46.26 | GGD | question for you |
| 22:46.30 | Nirkus | GGD: if its bootable using syslinux it may be possible to boot it using pxelinux |
| 22:46.35 | GGD | whate exactly can be PXE booted? |
| 22:46.40 | GGD | what |
| 22:46.50 | GGD | yea you can boot it to syslinux |
| 22:47.02 | GGD | as its jsut a different medium |
| 22:47.29 | Nirkus | GGD: PXE ist nothing but some minimalistic boot code on top of a network interface card, which gets initiated by the (PC) BIOS, gets its configuration from DHCP, and.. |
| 22:47.57 | GGD | tftp |
| 22:48.07 | Nirkus | it receives an IP address and path to download a bootloader (pxelinux) via TFTP from |
| 22:48.19 | GGD | yea... |
| 22:48.27 | Nirkus | what happens after that is dependant on the bootloader only |
| 22:48.45 | GGD | IE pxelinx? |
| 22:48.48 | GGD | linux |
| 22:48.59 | Nirkus | yap. and pxelinux is not linux |
| 22:49.16 | Nirkus | it's just a PXE capable version of syslinux |
| 22:49.28 | GGD | ahh |
| 22:50.04 | GGD | i am sorta versed on it but not exactly up to spead |
| 22:50.07 | GGD | speed |
| 22:50.11 | GGD | the questions |
| 22:50.18 | Nirkus | shoot :) |
| 22:50.20 | GGD | what exactly can be PXE booted? |
| 22:50.37 | GGD | i know |
| 22:50.40 | GGD | clonezilla |
| 22:50.45 | GGD | g-arted |
| 22:50.47 | GGD | parted |
| 22:50.53 | Nirkus | any PXE network boot program compatible code :> |
| 22:50.54 | GGD | hirens boot cd |
| 22:51.17 | GGD | what do you mean? i am sorta curious |
| 22:51.36 | GGD | i want to build a PX server and i want to make sure that i can get what i can get etc |
| 22:51.45 | Nirkus | GGD: when you boot from your hard disk, there is a boot loader which will load your OS code |
| 22:52.00 | Nirkus | for Windows it's ntloader foo stuff something |
| 22:52.10 | Nirkus | for linux its grub, mostly |
| 22:53.02 | Nirkus | GGD: basically, the problem of booting something via PXE is the problem of finding some PXE boot loader that can download and boot that something |
| 22:53.29 | GGD | oh why is that? |
| 22:54.15 | Nirkus | because no OS (meaning not Linux, not Windows, not Windows PE, ..) is able to boot directly on top of a PXE boot ROM of some network card |
| 22:55.22 | GGD | oh i see |
| 22:55.25 | Nirkus | so you need some pxe boot loader which gets booted by the PXE ROM of your card, so that boot loader can display some user menu and download the OS and a ramdisk or something like that into ram and then boot it |
| 22:55.32 | GGD | so i couldnt pxe boot windows? |
| 22:55.44 | Nirkus | GGD: in theory, it is possible |
| 22:56.06 | GGD | interesting |
| 22:56.23 | Nirkus | GGD: there would need to be some form of image which could be downloaded and booted by for example pxelinux |
| 22:56.34 | GGD | is there a "list" that shows what you can PXE boot? |
| 22:56.54 | GGD | but not to much as it has to be lite enough to go on teh RAM? |
| 22:56.57 | Nirkus | mh |
| 22:57.32 | Nirkus | GGD: as your PXE boot loader will not supported writing to disk or some usb stick, it will have to fit into RAM |
| 22:57.47 | GGD | ahh ok |
| 22:57.51 | GGD | i think LD |
| 22:57.53 | GGD | :D |
| 22:58.26 | Nirkus | GGD: the alternative would be to access the filesystem needed for any OS via a network file system like NFS or SMB/CIFS. but windows does not support booting from a network drive AFAIK |
| 22:59.05 | GGD | it doesnt? |
| 23:00.54 | Nirkus | http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX#LABEL_command |
| 23:01.06 | Nirkus | GGD: maybe thatll help |
| 23:01.12 | Nirkus | ..somewhat :) |
| 23:01.38 | GGD | :) |

| 23:03.51 | Nirkus | http://wiki.contribs.org/PXE_booting_to_BARTPE |
| 23:04.02 | GGD | perhaps put the 911 on the PXE wiki? |
| 23:04.34 | GGD | is there a "template" to use to create the cfg file? |
| 23:06.51 | Nirkus | GGD: have to go back to idling right now :) |
| 23:06.57 | Nirkus | cya & good luck |
| 23:07.01 | GGD | thanks |
| 23:07.03 | GGD | for the info |
| 23:07.15 | Nirkus | there were a lot more google hits than those two links btw ;) |
| 23:07.23 | Nirkus | np |
| 23:08.57 | GGD | awesome |
| 23:10.31 | GGD | thank you |
