2. Insert a floppy disk. The path and name of the new MenuOption<number>
appears.
3. Click Next. A progress bar displays the PXE boot file image being read as it is
imported.
4. Click Finish.
Option 2:
1. From the New Shared Menu Option dialog, select User Supplied. Click Manual
Boot Image. The PXE Boot Files dialog appears.
2. Copy the PXE files you want in the MenuOption<number> folder. Click Browse to
select the folder containing the boot files that you want to copy.
3. Click OK.
This lets you regenerate all the PXE configurations that are using the selected operating
system. If you make updates to the core automation operating system, such as
installing a new version of Linux, this lets you apply those updates without re-creating
the affected configurations.
In Boot Disk Creator, you must install the pre-boot operating system files for at least
one pre-boot environment before you create new configurations. Boot Disk Creator uses
these files when creating configurations and boot images. You can install all supported
pre-boot operating system files at the same time, or you can install only those pre-boot
environments that you want to use. You can install FreeDOS and MS-DOS, but you must
select which DOS version you want to run since you cannot run both versions at the
same time.
Example: You can install the DOS and WinPE pre-boot operating system files to start
creating configurations to support your infrastructure, which currently does not need
Linux boot images. After working with Deployment Server and Boot Disk Creator, you
decide you want to create Linux configurations and Linux boot images. You can open the
Install Pre-boot Operating System Files dialog at any time to install the Linux
system files or the other pre-boot operating system files.
When you install the pre-boot operating system files for DOS, Linux, or WinPE, a
checkmark next to the operating system name indicates that the files are successfully
installed. See DOS on page 298,
operating system version number appears (except for MS-DOS) and the status changes
to Installed.
If you acquire a newer version of DOS, Linux, or WinPE, browse and specify the location
of the pre-boot files and click Next to install the new files. However, all existing
operating system files are deleted before the newer files are installed.
