djtiboy Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Ok, just got a new aspire one netbook, and i got a little project for this little guy! I'm wondering if some kind of system exist to let me boot my "bootable ISOs CD/DVD" on the network with my netbook. I don't care if it is running on linux / windows... What would be nice is to boot a client computer, boot it from PXE, and a menu appear asking for witch image to load (Ex:. Spinrite, UBCD, Windows XP, BT3, etc...) and my pxeserver (netbook) will automaticaly load the correct OS in the client system. Or I load an ISO, in my TFTP server on my netbook and send it some kind of way to the client PXE card. Possible or not?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I've looked for this in the past without success. While it's possible to take (for instance) a live Ubuntu CD and make it bootable via PXE, I've not found a method that will network boot to a menu that will subsequently network boot unmodified ISO images. Frankly, I think that product would simply be too useful to exist in this world :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djtiboy Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 OK ... if the PXE doesn't support ISO. What about those USB to USB cables?! Can i make the client computer boot from USB and load an image in "some kind of program" on my Netbook that will boot up the client with the specific ISO/IMG.
