[syslinux] Re: Using PXE to Boot CD Images?

Tue Feb 1 22:45:13 PST 2005

If you have system with 256MB RAM, a 256MB compactflash card and IDE adapter, you can run WinXP from RAM.
Perhaps PXElinux will also help, and save you from using harddisk or above mentioned compactflash.

http://www.911cd.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=10482

is the thread.
Basically it involves creating a WinPE (maybe only BartPE) LiveCD, then using a few files from Win2003SP1-RC1 to obtain the 'boot from RAMDISK' functionality.

Which ISO images can actually boot? only MSDOS?

If LinuxBIOS people would integrate Smart Boot Manager's Eltorito-stack, then they would also have 'boot from cdrom' functionality.
