71 <h2>Introduction</h2>
72
73 <p>
74 Boot your operating system from the internet and enjoy a full system
75 working entirely in RAM with speed and stability in mind. The Linux Kernel
76 and the complete SliTaz compressed root filesystem will be loaded into
77 RAM from the Web using PXE and HTTP protocols.
78 </p>
79
80 <a name="guide"></a>
81 <h2>Short guide</h2>
82 <p>
83 To boot from the internet you'll need a working DHCP server, DNS server/cache
84 and a default internet route. This is usually the case if you have a router
85 for network connection.
86 </p>
87 <ul>
88 <li>SliTaz Cooking has the boot option <code>web</code>, so you can
89 use boot.slitaz.org from the standard core LiveCD.</li>
90 <li>SliTaz boot ISO: Download
91 <a href="http://mirror.slitaz.org/boot/slitaz-boot.iso">slitaz-boot.iso</a>
92 (<a href="http://mirror.slitaz.org/boot/slitaz-boot.md5">md5</a>)
93 and burn the image to a cdrom. Boot from the cdrom device and select
94 gPXE. This ISO image also provides Memtest86 to test system memory.
95 </li>
96 <li>USB media: Use TazUSB to generate bootable USB media. Install
97 the package <code>gpxe</code>, copy /boot/gpxe into the boot
98 directory of the USB media and add an entry to the Syslinux configuration
99 file <code>syslinux.cfg</code>:
100 <pre class="script">
101 label web
102 kernel /boot/gpxe
103 </pre></li>
104 <li>Floppy image: Download
105 <a href="http://mirror.slitaz.org/boot/floppy-grub">floppy-grub</a>
106 (<a href="http://mirror.slitaz.org/boot/floppy-grub.md5">md5</a>)
107 and transfer the image to a blank floppy disk using the command:
108 <code>dd if=floppy-grub of=/dev/fd0</code>. Boot the floppy and select
109 gPXE entry.</li>
110 </ul>
111
112 <h3>Boot time</h3>
113 <p>
114 The boot time largely depends on your network connection. With a 1Mb
115 connection in France, it takes 5 min. If you want, you can report the
116 boot time on the Mailing list or the Forum.
117 </p>
118
119 <h3>Required configuration</h3>
120 <p>
121 The default boot entry needs 160Mb RAM. Two entries are available to
122 boot with 24Mb:
123 <ul>
124 <li><code>tiny</code> starts in text mode.</li>
125 <li><code>loram</code> starts in graphical mode.</li>
126 </ul>
