Client Installation Wizard

  • Article

The Client Installation Wizard is a text-based tool that guides the user through the remote operating system installation process. The Client Installation Wizard is the first image a user sees after pressing F12 and successfully connecting to the RIS server for a network service startup.

When the client makes its initial request, TFTP is used to download the file requested by the client. In the case of RIS, this file is Startrom.com. Startrom.com prompts users to press F12. If the user presses F12, Startrom.com uses TFTP to access OSChooser and presents the user with the Client Installation Wizard.
