Description Lukas Zapletal 2016-02-16 11:56:33 UTC
We have improved our upstream documentation about iPXE:

http://projects.theforeman.org/projects/foreman/wiki/Fetch_boot_files_via_http_instead_of_TFTP

Downstream, we only have one mention of gPXELinux somewhere in Provisioning guide I think. This is worth expanding.

Comment 2 Lukas Zapletal 2016-02-17 08:33:05 UTC
For the record, this was a 6.2 feature, but there were no code changes. We only improved the upstream documentation (see above).

Comment 5 Lukas Zapletal 2016-02-18 08:09:28 UTC
Yeah, but the wikipage has been completely rewritten now:

http://projects.theforeman.org/projects/foreman/wiki/Fetch_boot_files_via_http_instead_of_TFTP

What was source for the current (gPXE) version by the way?

Moving back to the default assignee to be re-triaged as the schedule allows.

The issue raised in this bug was also reported in BZ#1285487 where it is now being addressed.

I will close this bug as a duplicate, and any further questions can be added to BZ#1285487 as needed.

Kind regards,

Andrew
