Line 47: ==How it works== The client computer is set to boot from the network card using PXE or Etherboot. The client requests an IP address, and tftp image to boot from, both are provided by the DRBL server. The client boots the [[initrd\|initial RAM disk]] provided by the DRBL server via tftp, and proceeds to ~~map~~mount an [[network File System\|nfs]] share (also provided by the DRBL server) as its root (/) partition. From there, the client boots either the linux distribution on which the DRBL server is installed, Clonezilla, or an installer for various Linux distributions, depending on how that particular client was configured on the DRBL server. All system resources reside on the local machine except storage, which resides on the DRBL server.
