Hi, I got pxelinux working with tftp32 running on a windows server. I have a little computer that loads a linux image off the network, but I want to add a different computer to boot off the network, for a different purpose. Is it possible for the server to provide one image to a certain computer, and another image to a second computer? Thanks :) Andrew

[syslinux] pxelinux -- boot more than one image?
The secret is in your config file. Open it with notepad and edit it.
Here is a part of mine :
(note : DISPLAY images/messages.txt causes a textfile to be displayed on
your screen.
This textfile in my case shows all possible options like 1=dos,2=dos5,3=dos6
etc )
Good luck,

# toon een boot: prompt want Zonder bootprompt wordt de DEFAULT optie
gestart...
# prompt 1 betekent AAN en heeft niets te maken met optie 1...
