FrostyPXE is a ready-to-use compilation of PXE bootable utilities based on PXELinux. Inspired by PXEKnife.

The aim was to create utilities available via PXE network boot, without the need of anything other than DHCP and TFTPd.

Setting up DHCP and TFTP on a Linux server,

• zytor.com – How do I Configure PXELINUX?
• linux.com – Setting up DHCP and TFTP servers
• debian.org – Preparing Files for TFTP Net Booting
• wordpress.com – Configuring a TFTP/PXE Server

The archive includes the full TFTPd directory including PXELinux itself. So is ready to drop into your TFTPd directory and boot. All you need to do is setup TFTPd and DHCP.

The current version is v0.1 (20080919)
