#167199 — pxe boot over http rather than nfs

Subjectpxe boot over http rather than nfs
Message-ID<rtgXV-6T4-11@gated-at.bofh.it>
I'm pxe booting the debian live cd. I currently serve
filesystem.squashfs over nfs, but I'm wondering if there is a way to
serve it over http like other distros offer?

Yes.

LABEL jessie-live
    MENU LABEL Jessie Live
    KERNEL debian/jessie/live/vmlinuz
    INITRD debian/jessie/live/initrd.img
    APPEND boot=live
fetch=http://servername.tld/isos/debian-live-8.3.0-amd64-standard.iso 

for example.

Note that it does not, at this time, appear to work with https.

Thanks. Does fetch have to pass the iso file or can it just point to the
squashfs file?

In theory, the squashfs should work. In practice, I haven't
tried that.

Just a note for anyone paying attention passing
fetch=http://192.168.1.4/debian/jessie/amd64/live/filesystem.squashfs
does work.
