Since I won't get a better chance to find knowledgeable people: How exactly does iPXE work? Lets say I want to boot a random old PC from one of these images - does the bios need to have iPXE support? Or PXE? Or does it need to first boot into some local system first, which then goes out and gets the image to boot the rest of the way from?
Then there's mention of DHCP and self hosting. Do I need to have some service running within my LAN first or can this go right out to some public server and boot from images there? How does DHCP factor in? I am in so far over my head on this but it seems interesting and something fun to try out.
