Is it possible to boot a client over PXE using custom Linux image using PXELINUX? **Background** > We use various IoT devices (Intel based processor) that use Linux as OS (Ubuntu to be > specific).

So my question is, how can I create custom image (or use any other mean) to boot our Linux system using PXE? I created ISO using DD utility (over 4GB in size). But PXELINUX bootloader fails to even download that ISO.
