I'm new to the mailing list and to gPXE. So I'm sorry if this has been<br>
asked before.<br>
<br>
I'd like to boot a PC with a local DHCP server but with a PXE config<br>
script that has been stored on a webserver. Exactly like it has been<br>
described here: <a href="http://etherboot.org/wiki/appnotes/autobootchainurl" target="_blank">http://etherboot.org/wiki/<u></u>appnotes/autobootchainurl</a><br>
<br>
Is this still the way to go or is this deprecated and can be performed<br>
with scripting only?<br>

It's no longer necessary. You can use an embedded script containing just:<br>
<br>
#!ipxe<br>
dhcp<br>
chain url://for.your/boot/script.<u></u>ipxe<br>
<br>
You'll need to upgrade from gPXE (which has been unmaintained for a couple of years now, and doesn't have full scripting capability) to iPXE.<br>
