[Aoetools-discuss] WinAoE and gPXE releases

[Marty C. <md...@et...>]

Hello,

Recently there have been releases of 2 AoE-related FOSS utilities that 
might be of interest to members of this list.

First is WinAoE ( http://winaoe.org/ ), a GPLv3 32/64bit AoE driver for 
Microsoft Windows (2000 through Vista).

Once WinAoE is installed as a Windows driver, it is possible to boot 
Windows from AoE targets, as well as mount AoE targets from within 
Windows after it is booted.

Second is gPXE ( http://etherboot.org/ ), a GPLv2 rewrite of the 
Etherboot network boot loader from the Etherboot project. It can be used 
as a general AoE boot solution for different operating systems 
(including support for Linux, Windows through the WinAoE and others). 
There are some HowTo documents for booting Linux and WinXP here:

    http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/sanboot/debian_and_ubuntu

and here:

    http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/sanboot/winxp

We welcome testing, feedback, patches, and whatever suggestions folks 
might have.

Enjoy,

Marty
