### Booting from ISO
#### Burning a CD/DVD
To create a bootable CD-ROM/DVD, burn the ISO image [netboot.xyz-dhcp.iso](https://boot.netboot.xyz/ipxe/netboot.xyz-dhcp.iso) if you have DHCP or [netboot.xyz-static.iso](https://boot.netboot.xyz/ipxe/netboot.xyz-static.iso) if you require manual entry (~1MB in size) to a blank CD-ROM/DVD. Insert the media into the server, set the proper boot order and boot up.
#### Virtual Machine Software
You can also use these ISOs to boot any sort of VM in Citrix XenServer, VMware ESXi, VMware Fusion, VirtualBox.
#### Out of Band Virtual Media
They are great for attaching to remote virtual media of a server like the Dell DRAC or HP iLOs. Because the iPXE boot disk is so light weight, they are great for starting installations where there might be really low bandwidth.
