Network / Internet Boot Configurations needed to boot OS/1337 via Network and/or Internet
To make OS/1337 a versatile and easy to use recovery & rescue Linux.
Being able to boot it easily from naked machines is kinda important and useful.
This is intended to mimic most "Rescue Linux" OSes used by big hosters and classic recovery distros like "Tom's Root Boot" as well as the Raspberry Pi Online Installer that has been added to the Firmware of the Raspberry Pi 4 Series (including Pi4B, CM4 and Pi400), allowing for easy setup similar to Apple's Recovery System aka. "BridgeOS" ...
At the end, one can have a fully-automatically netbooting system that starts (ideally the latest current version of) OS/1337 and is then ready for use.
Which allows for diskless setups and using OS/1337 as easy to setup and maintain Thin Client / "SSH Terminal" System in critical applications.
- Combining the Advantages of Diskless Clients and Thin Clients thanks to the fact that OS/1337 is loaded once into RAM and run entirely from it.
Using iPXE as boot firmware
Which can be chainloaded as bootloader, a OS/1337 image is being loaded via TFTP or HTTP and subsequently booted.
