Support

Hi all, I like to compare nethserver with sme-server with I use since many years…

At the moment I have problems to use PXE on nethserver. Is anyone here using this feature on nethserver ?

I like to boot different linux distros over the network, can anyone help me please ?

regards
fpausp

Hi,

Yes please, I was not able to install/activate the service on
nethserver. I can then write a howto…

@fausp

I can put my tftpboot folder (zipped!) online and send you a link if you want.
It does handle multi-boot, with boot menu…
