16 Etherboot is a free software package for booting x86 PCs over a
17 network. In principle this could be any network technology that TCP/IP
18 runs on that supports broadcasting. In practice, the bandwidth
19 required means it's only practical over LANs and some WANs. Etherboot
20 is useful for booting PCs diskless. This is desirable in various
21 situations, for example:
22 - Maintaining software for a cluster of equally configured
23 workstations centrally.
24 - A low-cost X-terminal.
25 - A low cost user platform where remote partitions are mounted by NFS
26 and you are willing to accept the slowness of data transfers that
27 results from NFS, compared to a local disk.
28 - Various kinds of remote servers, e.g. a tape drive server that can
29 be accessed with the RMT protocol.
31 - Machines doing tasks in environments unfriendly to disks.
34 Etherboot to "wolne" oprogramowanie s³u¿±ce do startowania komputerów
35 PC x86 poprzez sieæ (dowoln± sieæ TCP/IP wspieraj±c± rozg³aszanie
36 adresów (broadcasting)). W praktyce wymagania co do przepustowo¶ci
37 ³±cz ograniczaj± zastosowanie tego pakietu w sieciach LAN i niektórych
38 WAN. Etherboot jest u¿yteczny do startowania bezdyskowych PC.
