- [Instructor] While we usually start up a Linux installation from a local hard drive or solid state drive, it's also possible to boot system using media hosted on a network. This can be useful for a lab settings and production environments where our systems need to install automatically or where thin clients need to boot into defined environments over the network, rather than from local media. The way this works involves a few pieces. The netboot process starts with PXE or the Preboot Execution Environment, which is a capability that most ethernet cards have to boot a system using a source available on the network rather than on local media. The process is made possible by DHCP. When a system power's on and the PXE enabled network card announces its presence on a network, a DHCP server sends that information not only about its assigned IP address, but also information on where to find netboot media hosted by TFTP or…
