Minimal CLI works with memdisk.

Assuming there is no technical reason preventing this, could a space be added to the distribution name?

After extracting both a Windows 7 and Windows 10 ISO onto a CentOS 7.2 Server running Nginx 1.6.3 Netboot successfully boots the ISO, however, the installation cannot run due to some missing driver. My expectation is that this is fundamentally a Windows issue. See attached screenshots.

After the wimboot process starts, I can see the following logging in the Nginx access log:

10.166.16.205 - - [17/Aug/2016:15:17:49 +0100] "GET /x64/bootmgr HTTP/1.1" 200 400228 "-" "iPXE/1.0.0+ (f6e8)" "-"
10.166.16.205 - - [17/Aug/2016:15:17:49 +0100] "GET /x64/boot/bcd HTTP/1.1" 200 16384 "-" "iPXE/1.0.0+ (f6e8)" "-"
10.166.16.205 - - [17/Aug/2016:15:17:50 +0100] "GET /x64/boot/boot.sdi HTTP/1.1" 200 3170304 "-" "iPXE/1.0.0+ (f6e8)" "-"

But I'm not seeing any further requests following this, so it would seem like windows is able to boot, but the installer is missing and not loaded from HTTP.

Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet
Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn
Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander
Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal

These should be removed from /src/ubuntu.pxe as they're no longer supported (looks like 13.04 has either been already removed or never present)

You can get a list of them at http://ftp.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/ftplist.cgi sorted by your location

It's a minimal Arch setup that follows "the Arch way"... but actually walks you through it instead of having to follow the Wiki.

Zorin OS is supposed to be an easy-to-use Linux for Windows users (like Mint).

Homepage: http://zorinos.com/

I see the coreos is included, any chance you can also include ubuntu snappy

Linux Mint Cinnamon is my favourite. Any chance of support ?

My VM shows me this:

Grml is a bootable live system (Live-CD) based on Debian. Grml includes a collection of GNU/Linux software especially for system administrators. Users don't have to install anything on fixed storage. Grml is especially well suited for administrative tasks like installation, deployment and system rescue.

The isos seem to work; the netboot image is a tar.gz archive.

How does one enable the windows installer option which is seen in the animation in README.md and in menu.ipxe?

Add UEFI iPXE Bootloaders to build jobs and test out.

I get a 403 Forbidden response like the one below when trying to download the ISO file from https://boot.netboot.xyz/ipxe/netboot.xyz-dhcp.iso or https://boot.netboot.xyz/ipxe/netboot.xyz-static.iso.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Edit: The download link https://boot.netboot.xyz/ipxe/netboot.xyz.iso works. It appears that the links above are simply obsolete and should be removed from the page http://netboot.xyz/boot-iso/.

I think a really useful option is an offline AV scanner.

Personally, I use the AVG Rescue CD via PXE but unsure if it can be used in terms of licensing issues, but any other suggestions are also welcome!

thanks for netboot! it's awesome. Is it possible to include elementaryOS in it?

It's more well known than most of the niche distros that are currently supported and has nice minimal live install images.

https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/

How can I add a local image to this kind of setup?

Let's say I would like to run UBCD from a local repo while I run the other stuff fresh from the world wide wait.

Would it be viable to have live boot options for ubuntu & some of the other distros?

Hi,

It will be cool to support RedoBackup.

It could help: http://labalec.fr/erwan/?p=365

Thanks.

Hi,

It could be also cool to support PartitionWizard.

It could help.

Thanks,

Hi,

It could help to support SystemRescueCD.

I think a really useful tool to have under the utilities section would be PogoStick, I use it pretty often, & can PXE boot it locally, but am unsure if it can be made to work with netboot.xyz

When unpacked, the Pogostick ISO takes up about 16 MB

The Server that served the PXE images (releng.archlinux.org) was shut down entirely, thus netboot.xyz times out when trying to load http://releng.archlinux.org/pxeboot/boot/pxelinux.0.
The new netboot images can be found here

Since manjaro has alot of "edition", it would be great if one could just plug in this usb key, and have access to most, if not all, of them.

Hope it is possible.

Would it be possible to do a checksum (preferably SHA256) of all the images after they are downloaded?

When trying to access a custom menu from github i get a permission denied error.

Would be nice.

Would it be possible to add DBAN to the list of supported distros?

Hi,

It would be cool to support also PartedMagic.

http://labalec.fr/erwan/?p=1220

Thanks,

Hello,

Would it be possible to add SuperGrubDisk2 to the list of utility distros supported by netboot.xyz? This distro is really helpful for booting to a system with a broken grub install so that you can get in and fix it. Thanks!

Getting: Could not boot: No such file or directory

When leaving the FreeDOS boot menu via ESC to return to the main menu, I get the following instead:

Could not boot: No such file or directory (http://ipxe.org/2d02803b)
Could not boot: No such file or directory (http://ipxe.org/2d02803b)
Could not boot: No such file or directory (http://ipxe.org/2d02803b)
FATAL: INT18: BOOT FAILURE

As far as I understand iPXE supports HTTPS connections[0].
It also seems like you could directly include the root cert of an existing CA like let's encrypt.

Is it possible to add *buntu support, such as xbuntu, or primarily lubuntu as I personally would use

Hi,

It would be cool to add GParted support.

I don't know if it could help. http://labalec.fr/erwan/?p=503

Thanks in advance,

Would it be possible to provide instructions for how to create your own self-hosted version of http://boot.netboot.xyz (where ipxe chainloads to) for situations where you cannot access the Internet website (e.g slow connection, firewall, etc)?

hello
Not determined standard network card of Virtualbox not work network Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM). Download any image freezes at 5% -6%, and on the question this is network card: PCnet-PCI II or III (Am79C970A)

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/dn621983.aspx - Create WIMBoot Images

Windows image file boot (WIMBoot) lets you set up a PC so that it runs directly from a compressed Windows image file (WIM file).

Source: http://labalec.fr/erwan/?p=1078

With Windows 8.1/10, it's now possible to boot a full system from WIMBoot instead of just an install image. Seems like it might be possible to do this over a network as well.

Any thoughts/attempts yet?

This is probably not going to happen but I'm one of those people who seeds torrents because I just have an very high data limit (I only have the connection for the insane speeds).

It's probably too much work. But It would be great it could download from a torrent instead of a mirror so it goes a little easier on those mirrors.

Again. Just a suggestion.

Quoting https://nixos.org/

NixOS is a Linux distribution with a unique approach to package and configuration management. Built on top of the Nix package manager, it is completely declarative, makes upgrading systems reliable, and has many other advantages.

add easy BCD support

A Windows recovery environment would be a huge help and a great addition, I think. I like to keep a RE disk/USB drive around somewhere because we all know unexpected issues happen with Windows every now and again. This would free up my USB drive from the RE to just netboot and I'd still be able to use the RE any time I needed it.

If you need a disk image, it can be arranged. I checked out the code in an attempt to do it myself, but it's a bit out of my range of expertise.

On my MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009), the usb pendrive of netboot.xyz doesn't work properly in terms of the keyboard interface.

The onboard keyboard and attached usb keyboards are completely dead when entering the first boot menu of netboot.xyz. slowly ticking down to booting local hdd..

Edit: I get the same error for other disc images hosted on SourceForge.

Does not work on Compaq Armada M700 128MB RAM,
menu loads,
I choose linux,
the following shows up:

linux.ipxe... ok
http://boot.netboot.xyz/sigs/linux.ipxe.sig... ok
Could not verify: Permission denied (http://ipxe.org/0216eb3c)
Error occured, press any key to return to menu ...

At this point in time the keyboard does not work.

Add option to install OpenBSD snapshots

new vm， new disk ，no space left on device
pls add auto format disk

For anyone who doesn't know, Alpine Linux is tiny. The standard vanilla iso is 81MB with the extended iso a measly 360MB installed.

It would make a really great addition to netboot. They offer a public download repository here.

Hi,

It would be cool to support WindowsPE with netboot.xyz. It seems that your solution makes easier booting of operating systems via iPXE.

I believe it could help. http://ipxe.org/howto/winpe
