73 <h2>Introduction</h2>
74
75 <p>
76 Boot your operating system from the internet and enjoy a full system
77 working entirely in RAM with speed and stability in mind. The Linux Kernel
78 and the complete SliTaz compressed root filesystem will be loaded into
79 RAM from the Web using PXE and HTTP protocols.
80 </p>
81
82 <a name="guide"></a>
83 <h2>Short guide</h2>
84 <p>
85 To boot from the internet you'll need a working DHCP server, DNS server/cache
86 and a default internet route. This is usually the case if you have a router
87 for network connection.
88 </p>
89 <ul>
90 <li>SliTaz Cooking has the boot option <code>web</code>, so you can
91 use boot.slitaz.org from the standard core LiveCD.</li>
92 <li>SliTaz boot ISO: Download
93 <a href="http://mirror.slitaz.org/boot/slitaz-boot.iso">slitaz-boot.iso</a>
94 (<a href="http://mirror.slitaz.org/boot/slitaz-boot.md5">md5</a>)
95 and burn the image to a cdrom. Boot from the cdrom device and select
96 gPXE. This ISO image also provides Memtest86 to test system memory.
97 </li>
98 <li>USB media: Use TazUSB to generate bootable USB media. Install
99 the package <code>gpxe</code>, copy /boot/gpxe into the boot
100 directory of the USB media and add an entry to the Syslinux configuration
101 file <code>syslinux.cfg</code>:
102 <pre class="script">
103 label web
104 kernel /boot/gpxe
105 </pre></li>
106 <li>Floppy image: Download
107 <a href="http://mirror.slitaz.org/boot/floppy-grub">floppy-grub</a>
108 (<a href="http://mirror.slitaz.org/boot/floppy-grub.md5">md5</a>)
109 and transfer the image to a blank floppy disk using the command:
110 <code>dd if=floppy-grub of=/dev/fd0</code>. Boot the floppy and select
111 gPXE entry.</li>
112 <li>Network boot: if you can modify your DHCP server configuration, declare
113 the tftp server <i>mirror.slitaz.org</i> and the boot file
114 <i>gpxe.pxe</i> :
115 <ul>
116 <li>for <b>udhcpd</b>
117 <pre>siaddr mirror.slitaz.org
118 boot_file gpxe.pxe</pre></li>
119 <li>for <b>dhcpd</b>
120 <pre>next-server "mirror.slitaz.org"
121 filemane "gpxe.pxe"</pre></li>
122 <li>for <b>dnsmasq</b>
123 <pre>dhcp-boot=gpxe.pxe,mirror.slitaz.org</pre></li>
124 </ul>
125 </li>
126 </ul>
127
128 <h3>Boot time</h3>
129 <p>
130 The boot time largely depends on your network connection. With a 1Mb
131 connection in France, it takes 5 min. If you want, you can report the
132 boot time on the Mailing list or the Forum.
133 </p>
134
135 <h3>Required configuration</h3>
136 <p>
137 The default boot entry needs 160Mb RAM. Two entries are available to
138 boot with 24Mb:
139 </p>
140 <ul>
141 <li><code>tiny</code> starts in text mode.</li>
142 <li><code>loram</code> starts in graphical mode.</li>
143 </ul>
