Topic: [SOLVED] PXE boot, possible to use NFS instead http?

I'm about to put Gparted-live in mine server for PXE-booting, but instructions tells to use HTTP... I'd like to use NFS but is that possible currently? And if not then would that be implemented?

Thanks :)

EDIT:

I figured it out myself, here comes general instructions:

This assume that the tftproot/ is NFS-shared in /nfs/tftp/ at server (IP) of 10.0.0.10, ofcourse you can vary your folders and server address...

copy live/vmlinuz and live/initrd.img from gparted-live.zip into tftproot/gparted/
copy live/filesystem.squasfs from gparted-live.zip into tftproot/gparted/live/

and then pxelinux.cfg/ menuentry:

LABEL gparted
  KERNEL gparted/vmlinuz
  APPEND initrd=gparted/initrd.img boot=live noswap noprompt nosplash vga=788 netboot=nfs nfsroot=10.0.0.10:/nfs/tftp/gparted --

This was the default boot, if you want you can also add rest of the stuff in additional LABELs... refer gparted-live/isolinux/isolinux.cfg from gparted-live.zip for additional options...
