<h3>About Netboot</h3>

<p>Netboot images are small (&lt;1MB) images that can be used to download the latest {{ BRANDING_DISTRONAME }} release on the fly upon system boot.
It is unnecessary to update the netboot image, the newest release will be available automatically.</p>

<p>Netboot uses customized <a href="http://ipxe.org">iPXE</a> builds.
The Linux kernel, initramfs and squashfs files for the live system are downloaded from an {{ BRANDING_DISTRONAME }} mirror.
The integrity of all downloaded files is verified with cryptographic signatures.</p>

<h3>Requirements</h3>

<p>To use netboot, the following requirements must be met:

<ul>
<li>Wired (ethernet) internet connection with DHCP autoconfiguration</li>
<li>Sufficient memory to store and run the live system</li>
</ul>

</p>
