This is a PXE daemon, which you can use to set up a networked boot menu for
netbooting client machines (FreeBSD, Linux, Windows, etc.) that support &
utilize Intel's Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE).
===> The following configuration options are available for pxe-1.4.2_2:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
You need to create a configuration file. Copy
/usr/local/etc/pxe.conf.sample to /usr/local/etc/pxe.conf
and change what you need there.
To enable the pxe daemon, add pxe_enable="YES" to your /etc/rc.conf.
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the
literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable
when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().
In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.
Remove more tags from pkg-descr files fo the form:
- Name
em@i.l
or variations thereof. While I'm here also fix some whitespace and other
formatting errors, including moving WWW: to the last line in the file.
Various fixes:
- add standard rc.subr startup script.
- add post-install message mentioning necessary configuration steps.
- move pid-file to /var/run, the usual place. Do setuid/setgid later,
so that we can create it.
- make message about stale pid file a bit more explanatory.
