| |
| iPXE is the leading open source network boot firmware. It provides a |
| full PXE implementation enhanced with additional features such as: |
| |
| - boot from a web server via HTTP or [HTTPS][crypto], |
| |
| - boot from an iSCSI, FCoE, or AoE [SAN][sanboot], |
| |
| - control the boot process with a [script][scripting], |
| |
| - create interactive [forms][forms] and [menus][menus]. |
| |
| You can use iPXE to replace the existing PXE ROM on your network card, |
| or you can chainload into iPXE to obtain the features of iPXE without |
| the hassle of reflashing. |
| |
| iPXE is free, open-source software licensed under the GNU GPL (with |
| some portions under GPL-compatible licences). |
| |
| You can download the [rolling release binaries][rolling] (built from |
| the latest commit), or use the most recent [stable release][release]. |
| |
