Users familiar with pxe will find gpxe very familiar. Latest versions support several protocols beyond just tftp. We are using http to transfer files around. The basic steps are as follows:")}</p>

<h3 class="question">${_("Why should I use BFO?")}</h3>
- <p class="answer">${_("The BFO downloads are very small and once you have them, you'll rarely have to download more. Even as more versions of Fedora come out, you just boot from your iso and they will appear. Users with fast internet connections will have the best experience with BFO.

<h3 class="question">${_("What is required?")}</h3>
- <p class="answer">${_("For the most typical setup one should have DHCP, HTTP internet access and a CD/DVD burner. Floppy and USB images are also available.")}</p>

<h3 class="question">${_("Does BFO replace the installer or anaconda?")}</h3>
<p class="answer">${_("No. BFO is also not part of Anaconda. BFO is a way to load the installer via network. Normally users download a large ISO image that contains all of the installer bits. BFO is a smaller booting method that downloads the installer bits at runtime. In theory with BFO one iso download can install all future versions of Fedora.")}</p>
