Dear,

"InetBoot for x86&x86_64 LiveCD (Fedora/Ubuntu/KNOPPIX/VMKnoppix)" is released. 
   HP: http://openlab.jp/oscircular/inetboot/
   Guide-PDF: http://openlab.jp/oscircular/inetboot/InetBoot080731E.pdf

We prepared the InetBoot scripts for "gPXE" and "syslinux". Please boot them from
the shell-mode of gPXE and syslinux.
Example:
  gPXE> dhcp net0
  gPXE> kernel http://www.inetboot.net/gpxe/fedora9
  gPXE> boot

The URLs of scripts are the following.
  http://www.inetboot.net/gpxe/fedora9

  http://www.inetboot.net/gpxe/fedora9-x86_64
  http://www.inetboot.net/gpxe/fedora8-x86_64
  http://www.inetboot.net/gpxe/ubuntu804
  http://www.inetboot.net/gpxe/ubuntu710

  http://www.inetboot.net/gpxe/knoppix531-remasterCD
  http://www.inetboot.net/gpxe/vmknoppix-xen321 

===========================================================================
The InetBoot boots an OS from a LiveCD ISO file on the Web. This
version includes 
   # x86_64 handling
   # SSH client on BuildRoot
   # gPXE (http://www.etherboot.org)
gPXE downloads the kernel and initrd of InetBoot and re-boots another
OS from a ISO file on the Web.  The detail is mentioned in the Guide PDF.

### sample Bootable CD (6.6MB) of InetBoot ###
available x86 LiveCD
  2 types of Fedora (9,8)

### gPXE ###
gPXE, which is included syslinux (http://syslinux.zytor.com), is an
open source Network Bootloader. It can download a kernel and initrd
from HTTP server and boot the OS. We offered gPXE scripts to boot
InetBoot from the Inetnet.

## Exmample to boot InetBoot from gPXE and syslinux. ##
Move to shell mode of gPXE (Press CTL+B to change the shell mode). 
After that, execute the following commands on the shell to boot InetBoot.
     gPXE> dhcp net0
     gPXE> kernel http://www.inetboot.net/gpxe/fedora9
     gPXE> boot
Please refer the guide-PDF. gPXE boots fedora/Ubuntu/KNOPPIX/VMKnoppix(Xen) with InetBoot.
