How to boot Linux Mint 13 using PXE

---

Prepare the tftp folder

• Download pxelinux.0
• Copy initrd.lz and vmlinux from the iso (casper folder)
• pxelinux's config file (pxelinux.cfg/default):
  

  
  DEFAULT Linux-Mint-13-x86
  
  LABEL Linux-Mint-13-x86
  MENU LABEL Linux-Mint-13-x86
  KERNEL vmlinuz
  APPEND boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=IP.ADD.RE.SS:/ initrd=initrd.lz quiet splash --
  

  
  

Which gives:

# ls tftproot
initrd.lz     pxelinux.0    pxelinux.cfg  vmlinuz

Prepare the NFS folder

• Copy the required files from the casper folder

Which gives:

# ls nfsroot
casper

# ls nfsroot/casper
filesystem.manifest          filesystem.size
filesystem.manifest-desktop  filesystem.squashfs
filesystem.manifest-remove

Boot

Set up your DHCP, NFS and TFTP servers and boot your target.
