Hello

building iPXE doesn't require a very complicated setup.

Most of the tools should be pre-installed on every distribution, but

you might have to install gcc and binutils.

I don't use SuSE myself, but a quick google search revealed that executing



zypper install -t pattern devel_C_C++



as root should download and install all the packages required for C

and C++ development. This should be sufficient for iPXE.

Just cd into the src/ directory and type 'make'. It will complain

anyway if there's something missing, so you can install it.



To get rom-o-matic working on your own server you need a running

apache server with PHP installed. Simply copy iPXE somewhere in your

wwwroot directory and put the rom-o-matic files into the iPXE

directory. There is a config file in the rom-o-matic files where you

may have to alter the iPXE source path.

Then simply access the URL to your rom-o-matic setup and you should be

good to go.

It's a good idea to run 'make' in the iPXE directory before you access

rom-o-matic though, as the first request could timeout otherwise.

In older rom-o-matic versions you also had to manually build 'make

bin/NIC', but I believe that is done automatically on newer versions.
