Booting TC with iPXE

[neonix]

Could you create a website where all IBM PC vesions of TC can be booted through http protocol?
I tested netboot.xyz and I am not fully satisfied.

First step
32 bit or 64 bit
Second step
latest
archive 1-16
Third step
dcore
microcore
iso (TinyCorePlus)

In the future there can be easy PXE to iPXE chainloading for computers that can be booted only by PXE.

There could be also BIOS or UEFI step, but I never use UEFI and don't know much about this mode.

Have tried that, many years ago, but I was running with another approach on Raspberry PI.
Used dnsmasq and nginx and memdisk to load hole iso into memory of the pc.
Could also be using Linux kernel files and initrd files, but i used memdisk to load the hole iso with http or ftp.
I have also seen some progress with Ventoy, called iVentoy, to boot iso from pxe.

And if you want to be more fun you can maybe load grub2 with pxe.
