[Bug 916494] Re: Please put ipxe.krn to the desktop CD
I'd love to see your iPXE boot script. The easiest version is this: #!ipxe # We do assume that a DHCP server exists on the local network, e.g. a home router autoboot # The rest only happens if no local *boot* server exists kernel http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/linux initrd=initrd.gz initrd http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/initrd.gz boot You save the above as netboot.ipxe, and you load it from isolinux as an initrd of ipxe.lkrn: linux16 ipxe.lkrn initrd netboot.ipxe (from some date in December and on, iPXE supports scripts as initrds) In the URL above, the webmaster can maintain a dists/current symlink so that precise isn't hardcoded. A better idea would be to load pxelinux.0 instead of directly loading a kernel. This would allow for displaying a vesamenu, with which the user could graphically select from any supported distro series. Unfortunately that would require a public tftp server, which webmasters may not like. Instead, gpxelinux.0 could do the same over http, but I've never used that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to ipxe in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/916494 Title: Please put ipxe.krn to the desktop CD To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipxe/+bug/916494/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

I think this is a really good idea, and something I have put some consideration into aswell for the server iso. I'd love to see your iPXE boot script.
