you created your own linux/windows ISO or you took an existing linux distro, that is not in my script included?

if it is an existing distro, please give me a link to the webpage, maybe i can add it to my script
if it is your own custom ISO, what OS ist it (linux or windows), how big is the ISO does it support PXE boot, ...

what did you tried already?

with the Windows ISO media there are two problems.

it can not fully loaded as RAMdisk into the RAM
even your computer has enough RAM available, the RAMDisk once it is in the RAM loaded, the setup of windows can not see the content of the ISO inside the RAM.

the way you can install windows over the network is to create a WinPE ISO (~400MB) that fully fits into the RAM. once the client has pxe booted the windows PE system, it can activate its network. and mount the share where your the windows 10 installation files are stored. something like:

wpeutil InitializeNetwork
net use N: \\pxe-server\srv guest /USER:guest
N:
cd windows10_install_files
setup.exe

for more information: Download and install the Windows ADK to create you own Windows PE iso. you nead at least the "Windows PE add-on for the ADK" to biuld your WinPE iso. Windows PE (WinPE)

in the script i have already a template for win-pe-x86 that will create a pxe menu entry as soon there is a ISO called win-pe-x86.iso available

PS.: you only can run the setupof a x64, if your Win-PE is also x64. so you have to create a x64 (amd64) ISO in case you want to install a windows 64bit version.
