+gPXE README File
2
+
3
+gPXE is an implementation of the PXE specification for network
4
+booting, with extensions to allow additional features such as booting
5
+via HTTP, iSCSI, and AoE.  
6
+
7
+In generally, gPXE is compatible with the industry-standard PXE
8
+specification, and also supports Etherboot .nbi file loading and some
9
+additional protocols and features.
10

+BUILDING gPXE IMAGE FROM SOURCE
15
+
16
+If you don't want to install development tools, and have access to the
17
+Web, you can get gPXE and Etherboot ROM images made on demand from
18
+http://rom-o-matic.net/
19
+
20
+If you would like to compile gPXE images from source, here are some tips.
21
+
22
+We normally compile gPXE images on x86, 32-bit Linux machines. It is
23
+possible to also use x86-64 machines. We use gcc compiler options to
24
+create 32-bit output.
25
+
26
+It is important to have the necessary software  packages installed.  A gcc-based
27
+toolchain is required.
28
+
29
+The following packages (at least) are required:
30
+
31
+  - a gcc tool chain (gcc 3.x or gcc 4.x)
32
+  - binutils
33
+  - perl
34
+  - syslinux
35
+  - mtools
36
+  
37
+To test your environment, cd to the "src" directory and type:
38
+
39
+   make
40
+
41
+You should see a lot of output, and when it stops, the "bin" directory
42
+should be populated with gPXE images and object files.
43
+
44
+To learn more about what to build and how to use gPXE, please visit our
45
+project website at http://etherboot.org/ , particularly the "howto" section.
