-PXE is now supported.  You will also need to configure your server to
4
-provide a pxelinux.0 loader file, kernel and initrd images, and a
5
-pxelinux.cfg directory with a appropriate configuration spec files.

+gPXE is an implementation of the PXE specification with extensions to
4
+allow additional features such as booting via HTTP, iSCSI, and AoE.
5
+In generally, it is compatible with the PXE specification, and also

-There is no longer a default target for make.  You must specify an
14
-argument to make. Help text is now provided to indicate possible make
15
-targets.

-It should be possible to compile Etherboot with gcc >= 3.3.3, including
18
-gcc 3.4.x now that a couple of bugs have been tracked down. Please mail
19
-reports of success or failure to the etherboot-users list, together with
20
-the versions of gcc and binutils used.
21
-
22
-gcc 2.x is not supported anymore. You need at least gcc 3.x to compile
23
-etherboot due to C99 constructs.

25
-Removed etherboot(-pci)?.* rule because there are too many drivers and
26
-the image will no longer fit in memory. I don't want to choose a subset
27
-of drivers as everybody will have different preferences. So I'm going to
28
-piss off everybody equally by deleting the rule. Use the multiple driver
29
-rule (driver1--driver2--...) and select your own subset of drivers.

31
-In order to create .iso and .liso images you will need to have the
32
-packages mtools-3.9.9 or later, and syslinux-2.08 or later installed on
33
-your system.  These packages are available in various locations and
34
-formats.  .liso images are like .iso but use floppy emulation.  If you
35
-have a very old BIOS and .liso images don't work you may wish to try
36
-adding the -s option of syslinux as a last resort.

-EMERGENCYDISKBOOT has been renamed EXIT_IF_NO_OFFER, which describes it
