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?

Re: Issue while booting through PXE
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.
Re: Issue while booting through PXE
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.
