Not sure if they have everything you need on their end, but Solus has been getting a lot of positive attention lately. Would be a good addition if possible.

Thanks for all the work on this, I use it all the time.

I took a look at Solus a while back and it doesn't appear to play well with Memdisk. Ideally the project provides network bootable images in the future, but for now I don't think there are any good ways to boot Solus using iPXE without extracting the image and hosting it somewhere.

I'd suggest raising an issue or request a feature with Solus to provide network bootable installer kernels. Definitely would love to have it added though.

Maybe worth revisiting now.

Solus is a hard no for pxe support they even closed source their ISO build stuff because they were afraid of people forking it off and pushing copycat stuff.

In a world of uncertainty I am near 100% this project will never support network booting unless we write it from scratch, and even then we would likely be fighting with them over it.
