My talk page (whatever that means)

Menu system

This uses syslinux available from here

http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Download

I used a fairly old version but cannot remember what it is.

copy pxelinux.0 to /tftpboot copy vesamenu.c32 to /tftpboot/com32

I have a menu system as follows

in /tftpboot create a directory called pxelinux.cfg

cd /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg

make a file called default

touch default

Sample default file - add you own submenus

[root@home pxelinux.cfg]# cat default menu title --== SME Linux, PXE Main Menu ==-- menu background graphics/background.png menu tabmsgrow 22 menu cmdlinerow 22 menu endrow 24

menu color title 1;34;49 #eea0a0ff #cc333355 std menu color sel 7;37;40 #ff000000 #bb9999aa all menu color border 30;44 #ffffffff #00000000 std menu color pwdheader 31;47 #eeff1010 #20ffffff std menu color hotkey 35;40 #90ffff00 #00000000 std menu color hotsel 35;40 #90000000 #bb9999aa all menu color timeout_msg 35;40 #90ffffff #00000000 none menu color timeout 31;47 #eeff1010 #00000000 none

prompt 0 noescape 1 allowoptions 0 timeout 0

default com32/vesamenu.c32

label linuxmenu
 menu label ^Linux Boot Disks Menu
 kernel com32/vesamenu.c32
 append pxelinux.cfg/linux_boot_disks

I put the image files in /tftpboot/images/distroName

Now create a file called linux_boot_disks

Here are some samples (need to confirm if they all work):

label Slitaz 4 Std
 menu label SlitaZ ^4
 kernel images/slitaz_4_0/bzImage
 append initrd=images/slitaz_4_0/rootfs4.gz,images/slitaz_4_0/rootfs3.gz,images/slitaz_4_0/rootfs2.gz,images/slitaz_4_0/rootfs1.gz rw root=/dev/null vga=normal autologin

1. If you install the smeserver-nfs contrib and export a mount you can use something like the following :

label Bitdefender 2
  menu label ^Bitdefender
  kernel images/bitdefender_2/vmlinuz
  append boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.0.1:/home/e-smith/files/ibays/computer/files/bitdefender_2 initrd=images/bitdefender_2/initrd.gz lang=gb

label Kaspersky 10 - Rescue
 menu label ^Kaspersky 10 - Rescue
 kernel images/kaspersky_10/rescue
 append nfsdir=192.168.0.1:/home/e-smith/files/ibays/computer/files/kaspersky_10 initrd=images/kaspersky_10/rescue.igz lang=gb ramdisk_size=1000000

label Fsecure 3.11 - Rescue
 menu label ^Fsecure 3.11 - Rescue
 kernel images/fsecure_311/linux
 append nfsdir=192.168.0.1:/home/e-smith/files/ibays/computer/files/fsecure_311 initrd=images/fsecure_311/minirt.gz nodhcp lang=gb ramdisk_size=1000000
