Unfortunately EasyBoot isn't equipped with 'pxe-linux' - as far as I know -  and further more - I'm not any 'guru' in this 'field' of pxe linux :p

However EasyBoot can launch floppy images - and that gives us some options :;):
How about creating pxe-floppy image as showed < HERE >

Note: you can create different sizes of floppy image in EasyBoot.
Push on 'Tools>>Create new floppy image' and chose matching size to floppy image (and also chose 'Seed Image')

You can create several different pxe-floppy images each one with its own special 'data' to manage 'pxe linux' and launched from EasyBoot (run ***.img)

As I wrote: " I'm not any 'guru' in this 'field' of pxe linux" - but I goggled and found a lot of links that use 'pxe floppy images' as solution to manage 'pxe-booting'

EasyBoot is NOT Windows. EasyBoot is a nice looking boot manager, and not any 'operative' OP-system ???
As far as I can find out - there is no 'quick fix' to create such environment in EasyBoot similar to Windows - as EasyBoot is basically a boot manager and not any OP-system
Anyway, I'm going to look into it if this is possible - and if possible - I let you know :;):

No you cannot launch Easyboot from DOS :(
However you can return back to EasyBoot menu from DOS
Read post nr; 1 < HERE >


Further more - if using grub you can launch grub (grldr) from EasyBoot menu and also return to 'Main menu' from grub :)

As I already answered - there is no such option in EasyBoot menu system (as far as I know).
The only password protection is when you launch EasyBoot and get that black 'DOS-window' with text 'Password' :cool:

You cannot create password using EasyBoot background environment - but it sure would be a nice feature - if possible - in common versions of EasyBoot :)
