PXE boot moOde and dispense with sd-cards ??
So, the Raspberry Pi site has this server boot software allowing an x86 device to serve selected o/s to any number of networked Pi sans sd card....
https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/piserver/
and the configuration allows some stock o/s' ....Raspbian and Raspbian lite.....
![[Image: software-500x389.png]](https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2017/12/software-500x389.png)
and an o/s can also be used from a local tar.xz file.....
Wiser minds than mine will know how to convert the moOde image .... and especially the saved running moode image
... to a tar.xz file...
Though this cloud service seems to be able to for a fee....

So if it all works as expected a central x86 server could start moOde on any Pi plugged in and switched on from the local network...?
