Hello,
I am running WDS on a Windows Server 2012 R2 and syslinux to boot linux images over PXE.
I unpacked the ISO in the images folder and added the lines for PXE boot, however, when booting Porteus through PXE i get this error:
Can anyone tell me why i get that error? Also, perhaps i didn't do the setup ok.
Do i need to have the ISO within the Image boot folder?
Did anyone else configure pxe booting with wds for porteus?

Hello Kriogen,
Looks like initrds (kiosk needs both when booting over network) were not transported on the client side. Please follow this document:
porteus-kiosk.org/pxe-server.html
Btw: next time please mention that you are using kiosk as PXE methods differ between kiosk and desktop editions.
Thank you.
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

Well, it appears that i also really need a httpd server running on the wds machine.
So it looks like i won't be able to do PXE boot for Porteus since i will not install any httpd service on that server.
I will just go with the simple solution, burn ISO on usb stick and boot from that
Thanks for your time.
