30 <h1>grml-terminalserver</h1>
34 <p>Using grml-terminalserver you can boot grml via network. If your
35 computer is able to boot via <a
36 href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PXE">PXE</a> (Preboot Execution
37 Environment) all you have to do is start grml-terminalserver on the host
38 which should serve as booting server and boot Grml via network/PXE on
39 the client(s) then. If your computer can't handle PXE you can still try
40 to boot Grml via network, because grml-terminalserver lets you create a
41 floppydisk including a bootimage with your networkcard-driver to boot
42 via network. If that's still not an option for you check out the <a
43 href="http://etherboot.org/wiki/index.php">gPXE</a> project.</p>
45 <p>How to start grml-terminalserver? Just invoke grml-terminalserver as
46 user root and follow the instructions. Take a look at the manpages
47 grml-terminalserver and grml-terminalserver-config.</p>
49 <h2>Boot Grml without grml-terminalserver?</h2>
51 <p>Sure - of course you can boot Grml via PXE without having to use
52 grml-terminalserver (for example if you already have a working NFS,
53 tftp,... infrastructure). Take a look at <a
54 href="http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=terminalserver#booting_grml_without_grml-terminalserver">the
55 instructions in the grml-wiki</a>.</p>
