David Anderson 3aa769557c pixiecore: set Content-Length when serving the kernel/initrd.
iPXE appears to have *really* poor performance (orders of magnitude worse) if
it doesn't know the length of the kernel/initrds that it's downloading. Without
this change, booting CoreOS takes longer than I've had patience to wait. With
this change, the bottleneck becomes the network transfer speed.

Fixes #10.

  • tftp: Read-only TFTP server implementation.
  • pixiecore: the functionality of Pixiecore (see below), in library form. Every stability warning in this repository applies double for this package.

Programs

  • Pixiecore: an all-in-one tool for easy netbooting.
