PXE server
1) I want to setup a PXE server on my Linode and have my local computers in my home network, boot to the PXE server hosted on Linode. Is this possible? if so, Can someone outline the steps.
I'm currently hosting my own server in my house, that does PXE booting. I use the PXE server for PC repairs. I load ISO repair images on the PXE server, then I will boot a laptop that I'm working on to the PXE server and use the ISO images that are hosted on there. Here is my current PXE setup on my home server.I would like to do all of this on my Linode.
LABEL CENTOS INSTALL
kernel memdisk
append iso initrd=netinstall.iso
MENU CENTOS INSTALL
ENDTEXT
LABEL DEBIAN
kernel memdisk
append iso initrd=debian.iso
MENU DEBIAN
ENDTEXT
LABEL OPCHACK

MENU OPHCRACK

Seems like a huge waste of bandwidth.
You might want to consider something like gPXE
