  ==== Prerequisites ====
    * You need an existing DHCP/PXE/TFTP setup with the usual pxelinux.0/pxelinux.cfg boot and configuration files, and a directory where kernel and initrd can be stored.  This is not covered here, though we might add a separate howto for that some time later on.
      * Note that whoever manages to spoof this server name can deploy rogue images to your ThinClients.  If this is a serious issue for you, consider using local storage media and the
autoupdater instead.
      * It **might** be possible to already use HTTPS in this early stage when using iPXE.  This is untested and requires building your own iPXE image. see http://ipxe.org/crypto for details. Alternatively, use ipxe.lkrn (from [[http://boot.ipxe.org/ipxe.lkrn]]) and pxelinux.0 in combination with scripted ipxe commands in the pxelinux.cfg.
-   * You will also need an HTTP/HTTPS/FTP server with a dedicated IP (no name-based virtual hosts) for the squashfs image. - **Note: set BX2GO_NOSQUASHFS=true and use iPXE (e.g. with ipxe.lkrn + pxelinux.0) if you cannot use an IP for your host. Another option (untested) is explained [[https://blog.jacekk.info/2016/01/debian-live-webboot-dns/|here]]**

      * This image cannot be deployed via TFTP as it is too large - some TFTP servers refuse to serve files lager than 32MB, and some TFTP clients have problems with that as well.
      * Also, even if you have a TFTP server/client combination that handles files larger than 32 MB, it will still be waaaay slower than the HTTP/FTP transfer.
      * Note that whoever manages to spoof this server name can deploy rogue images to your ThinClients.  If this is a serious issue for you, consider using local storage media and the autoupdater instead.
      * It **might** be possible to use HTTPS with the ''fetch='' command.  This is untested.
