Work notes for configuring PXE server in Linux

And the operating system can be started through the network. During the startup process, the terminal requires the server to assign an IP address, and then use TFTP (trivial file transfer protocol) or MTFTP (multicast trivial file transfer protocol) download a startup software package to the local memory for execution. This startup software package completes the terminal (Customer ?) Basic software settings to guide the terminal operating system PXE that is pre-installed on the server to guide a variety of operating systems, such as Windows 95/98/2000/windows2003/windows2008/winXP/win7/win8, and linux.
