The discussion about network booting prior to PXE is vague. No mention of sockets on network cards, and the various options available. No discussion on why PXE was created as a successor to this method of network boot. This could be useful to understand network boot. 74.88.1.95 (talk) 15:47, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, there has been a huge array of solutions before PXE, and there still are alternatives. As this article is not about PXE, but about network booting in general, if you have the time and knowledge please contribute to the article. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 14:21, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

possible rewording necessary[edit]

"Before IP became the only Layer 3 protocol," doesn't sound like it's technicality correct. should it be reworded to say "Before IP became the only commonly used Layer 3 protocol"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.168.150.94 (talk) 05:06, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

networkboot.org removed[edit]

Why was the content "* NetworkBoot.org - a place for beginners to learn the fundamentals of network booting." removed for being "advertisement", when it links to a documentation resource which is open source and covered by a creative commons license?
