<h3>About Netboot</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Netboot images are small (<1MB) images that can be used to download the latest Arch Linux release on the fly upon system boot.
|
|
It is unnecessary to update the netboot image, the newest release will be available automatically.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Netboot uses customized <a href="http://ipxe.org">iPXE</a> builds.
|
|
The Linux kernel, initramfs and squashfs files for the live system are downloaded from an Arch Linux mirror.
|
|
The integrity of all downloaded files is verified with cryptographic signatures.</p>
|
|
|
|

|
|
<p>To use netboot, the following requirements must be met:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
