• Now you should be ready to do a netboot.

• Add PBA to boot options - still needs to be tested
• Installing OS though pxeknife - every operating system is different. After downloading the iso. You need to find the kernel(vmlinuz, linux, ...) and the intrid (.gz, .... ). Below we will document different OS. If you have installed an OS that is not mentioned please add it for others to be able to do it.
• Ubuntu-netboot
