Hi Gunther,

The application can be used for network boot as it supports the TFTP protocol. I tested this feature and it works fine.

TFTP saved my life in some circunstances. A client laptop without floppy, cd-rom, and with usb burned, the only thing that works on that laptop was net. So, I created ms-dos images on server, and setup the laptop to boot pxe, worked fine and I was able to reinstall the O.S. in that machine.
Thanks for sharing Sir Vortex

Hi mineiro,

You may want to check the iPXE - open source boot firmware project. Another nice alternative.

Hi Gunther,

Beside as a last resort to rescue data, the network boot feature ( depending on your ethernet card ) is useful to perform operating system installation on multiple computers.
