pxe for Debian
--------------

This is the Debian package of pxe, a free implementation of a PXE daemon. You
have probably installed it because you want to netboot a PC and saw PXE
mentioned in the output from your network card's boot PROM. There are a number
of things you need to know:

  1. pxe is not sufficient for a PXE boot. The PXE boot sequence consists of a
     number of steps, but only one of them is handled by the daemon provided in
     this package.

  2. pxe may not be necessary for a PXE boot. Ironically, some PXE
     implementations skip the very step that is handled by the pxe daemon.
     Therefore, you may even be able to netboot without this package.
