1How to install the PXE menu tools
2=================================
3
4The files for the PXE menus are in the pxemenu/ directory.
5
6We recommend *manual* installation of the PXE menu files to your TFTP server's
7file directory (usually /tftpboot) so that your customized files in /tftpboot
8do not get overwritten by accident.
9
101. Copy the SYSLINUX files
11--------------------------
12
13These files are from the SYSLINUX package and should preferentially be in the
14/tftpboot directory, although you can also put them in subdirectories of
15/tftpboot provided you configure your menu files accordingly:
16
17   cd pxemenu/
18   cp -rp pxelinux.0 memdisk com32 /tftpboot
19
20You also must make two com32 utilities available at the TFTP server's
21top-level directory.  This can be done by softlinking them from the com32/
22directory:
23
24   cd /tftpboot
25   ln -s com32/menu.c32
26   ln -s com32/chain.c32
27
28Optionally, there are a number of additional PXELINUX *.c32 utilities in com32/
29which you may want to try out.
30
312. Copy the PXE menu files
32--------------------------
33
34Set up the PXE menu:
35
36   cp pxemenu/pxelinux.cfg/default.menu /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default.menu
37
38You should edit default.menu if necessary to include only those menu items
39that you want to provide in your environment.
40
41It is highly recommended to let default.menu become your default boot method.
42You enable this by:
43
44   cd /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg
45   ln -s default.menu default
46
473. Copy the menu item directories
48---------------------------------
49
50For the menu items that you have enabled in default.menu, copy the required
51example subdirectories to /tftpboot, for example:
52
53   cp -rp pxemenu/Tools /tftpboot
54   cp -rp pxemenu/ghost /tftpboot
55   cp -rp pxemenu/CentOS-5.0 /tftpboot
56   cp -rp pxemenu/mysystem /tftpboot
57
58You may then edit the *.conf files in these directories to reflect your configuration.
59Also, you should install from other sources the requisite disk images that you have
60configured (comments are in the *.conf files).
