PXE Server Manual

On 1/12/2012, I completed my project called PXE Server.

To create the server on the windows platform, i mean not windows server 2003 and 2008. just normal windows like xp, vista, and 7, u need the following file. i list down the file easier to understand what the importance of PXE Server.

the file;


  • GRLDR <------- grubdos linux version to boot by TFTP Protocol
  • menu.lst <------- after system boot the GRLDR, the system will search command in this menu. 
  • Bootable File <---- i choose the hiren_boot 10 .iso file.

The operation:
Get grldr file system inside the Bootland.


Creating the menu.lst
this part is hard to understand if you are beginner in linux and memory allocation. so better to watch and learn the code that made by other people rather than dive into these codes without knowledge.

example
below is the basic menu to run iso file. pls remember that u cant map directly .iso files, the file needs virtual memory allocation in RAM. just like the hirenboot iso.

title Hiren
map --mem (pd)/hirens.iso (0xff)
map --hook
root (0xff)
chainloader (0xff)


if you cant figure out this technique, pls inform me thru email to put more content about this in my blog.
