Hi guys,
Booting winpe over pxe using gpxe and able to get the windows 7 installation to work flawlessly. Im using memdisk to boot the entire winpe iso into memory so there are a few drawbacks. For eg. Installing windows 7 into a 512MB pc fails because when winpe iso loads into memory which then consumes around 150MB from the 512 available. ( 512MB - 150MB = 362MB ) Therefore windows 7 installation fails to begin because of the lack of RAM available.
Did anyone figure out how to negate this kind of situation or is there nothing we can do?
Please lemme know...

Please see "Understanding the double-RAM requirement". Is there a reason why you cannot use iPXE's recent boot .ISO from SAN feature?

Another way is to just "google" for "install windows 7 with less than 512M ram"
