We made the document available under the proper license for others to
contribute. Brieuc (the main author) and I do not have much time to
improve it, but if someone is willing to...
A lot of precise information is also available from the etherboot, netboot
and ltsp projects.
One of the goals of the network-boot-HOWTO was to give a clear picture of
the whole thing, as it is hard at first to find ones way in the ocean of
acronyms, cryptic utility names and often-heard names : PXE, netboot, NFS,
grub, lilo, mknbi, kernel, boot-loader, bios, linuxbios, dhcp, bootp,
ip... what's what ?
