Side note about ipxe+sanboot+http : I am big fan. More info about these loading methods here : In the script 3 different methods : the classic memdisk, a newer approach with sanboot and a new kid on the block wimboot. In the attached screenshot, i load ipxe then chainloads a script (menu.ipxe). I put all my other loaders, in case I want to chain load, in next to my main loader (bootmgr, pxelinux, gpxe, grldr, etc) I put all my wim files in a sub folder called sources. I put all my iso files in a sub folder called images. The root home of tftp and http is the folder where you main pxe loader sits. new in version 1.0.0.14 : ProxyDHCP option new in version 1.0.0.7 : BINL (RIS & WDS) support

http daemon support head, range (mandatory for ipxe sanboot options) and over 2gb iso. tftp daemon supports tsize and blksize commands. dhcp daemon supports an alternative filename based on the user-class thus enabling chainloading (gpxe->pxelinux, ipxe->script, etc), and also support settings dhcp options (which can then be used by your boot loader) This is freeware (and will always be), should be opensource and the unique here idea is to share and contribute. So here comes a small portable dhcp server including a tftp and a http server. I could use tftp32 or serva but i like to make my own tools and these 2 were missing some features here and there. I am mostly a windows user and as an IT often needs a quick (=no install) and portable (=run from USB) dhcp server including a tftp server and a http server offering me then pxe booting.

I have been playing with pxe booting for a while, first starting with pxelinux, then gpxe and lately with ipxe.
