About NetBoot
netboot.xyz is an iPXE bootloader that shows a menu of Linux network installers, live distributions, security and forensics tools, rescue utilities, hypervisors, and Windows WIM images. Images are pulled from upstream mirrors over HTTP at boot time, so separate install media is not maintained.
It is provided as ISO, USB image, and PXE/TFTP and EFI builds for x86_64 and arm64. It can be started from a USB stick, ISO, or DHCP server, or chainloaded from GRUB, syslinux, or UEFI shell, and can be self-hosted via Docker.
