-You will need a network card on the diskless client that uses the PXE protocol |
| 46 |
-to boot, like many 3com cards. You will also need a BIOS that supports booting |
| 47 |
-from PXE. |
| 48 |
+PXE (Preboot eXecution Environment) is a method for booting computers over |
| 49 |
+a PXE-capable network interface (and using a PXE-supporting BIOS). It is |
| 50 |
+also supported as a boot method from block devices (like CDs or USBs) in |
| 51 |
+case the system does not support PXE boot from the network interface or |
| 52 |
+BIOS. In such cases, a minimal boot environment mimics the PXE supporting |
| 53 |
+network card (see also <uri link="http://etherboot.org">Etherboot/gPXE</uri>). |
