You already have RIS/WDS set up to do a network installation of windows? But now you have some linux machines, that you want to setup using you already implemented Windows Server?

It’s quite easy to do:

Place the following text in X:\RemoteInstall\Setup\German\Tools\PXELinux\i386\templates

[OSChooser]
Description = "PXElinux"
Help = "Linux Network Boot Loader - Currently loads a Debian 4.0 Installer"
LaunchFile = "Setup\German\Tools\PXElinux\i386\templates\pxelinux.0"
Version = "1.00"
ImageType=Flat

You can get all the necessary debian files from netboot.tar.gz. You generally do not need to edit any files in there, just extract them into the templates directory.
