PXE Index
From Wiki
PXE is a method of booting a device, to sum it up. It differs from most other methods, however, because it's done completly over the network, using no physical storage medium on the computer (less RAM). I document everything one needs (hopefully) to setup a PXE enviroment here, as outlined.
