Are we talking like a crude hack, or can we toss a metric ton of ANSI insanity at iPXE to (hopefully) land somewhere between a nice looking multi-entry custom config menu and a warez demo file? I ask because if its possible to generate a... Um... Bizarre-but-functional version of what Oliver is looking for, it'd probably be worth documenting. We had this question show up a few months ago, too, so it'll likely help out if this becomes a FAQ. :) Cheers, Andrew _______________________________________________ ipxe-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ipxe.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/ipxe-devel
