Syslinux - Mar 2013 - Question regarding config, not sure if syslinux or tftp-hpa related

Good morning everybody,

I'm pretty new to syslinux & tftp-hpa, and so I'm not quite sure
where
my question belongs to, but I'll try it here first.

I want to enhance the network services by offering a LTSP (just for the 
case the pc or laptop doesn't work for some reasons). And so, for 
testing, I added a second linux-based system (lets call it system-b).
Currently the tftpd (running on system-a) offers booting from local hdd, 
a BitDefender virus-scan, starting clonezilla and starting 
SystemRescueCD. Fifth option should be LTSP.

So, could I use statements in pxelinux.cfg/default (on system-a) like:
label ltsp
kernel tftp://system-b/ltsp/vmlinuz
append ro initrd=tftp://system-b/ltsp/initrd.img quiet root=/dev/nfs 
ip=dhcp boot=nfs

Or is there another way to link to another system for booting?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for my english, as I'm not a native english 
speaker ...

If you wanted to have another PXELINUX and config on your LTSP server
box, one of the following (version-dependent):

LABEL ltsp-c32
COM32 pxechn.c32
APPEND tftp://system-b/pxelinux.0

LABEL ltsp-com
COM pxechain.com
APPEND tftp://system-b/pxelinux.0

pxechain.com was removed as of 5.00.  pxechn.c32 was added in 4.06.
One helpful option would be -c (config; just remember this file is
attempted before the usual fallbacks).  See also doc/pxechn.txt.

You could also use gpxelinux.0/lpxelinux.0 if you wanted to use HTTP.
When I set this up, I often use a subdirectory on the HTTP server (ie
http://server-b/tftp/ is equal to tftp://server-b/ )

Thanks for the warning but I think you did a good job.
