PXE (or Pre-eXecution Environment) Booting is where a machine's BIOS uses DHCP and TFTP information to boot into an environment independent of the media on the server.
To create a PXE Boot Server you need four things:
- A properly configured DHCP server: to assign addresses and point the system at the kernel for booting
- A properly configured TFTP server: to distribute the booting kernel & initrd (e.g. advanced TFTP client
- vmlinuz and initrd.img from your distribution of choice
- A PXELINUX install properly setup
- A Network Repository
