Re: network boot

Ok I was not Safely Removing the hardware, so I redid the usb drive and
then I put it in an old Dell GX260 and it worked.

But for the computers in the cars it did not work, I am thing the BISO
does not support it

What do you think?

Sounds good.  If you write this file to your USB "stick" and flush all
write buffers before removing ("Safely Remove Hardware" in Windows),
then you can boot the USB "stick" on the police car's computer.  To
confirm that gPXE supports the NIC on the computer, press Control-B at
the Control-B prompt, then at the gPXE CLI, enter:

ifstat

where you will see just which network interfaces gPXE supports.  Of
course, in a police car, your wired NIC might not be wired to anything!
Joshua Oreman already spoke about wireless options.

Good luck!
