Bug Description
Please put ipxe.lkrn as a boot option in the isolinux menu of the live CDs, so that they can be used to netboot computers, either for network-based installation, or as LTSP clients, etc.
The embedded iPXE script would do this:
1) autoboot (that's an iPXE command)
2) on failure, if no boot server exists on the local network, use http://
It will only add a few Kb on the .iso, and it will make possible e.g. to reuse the 12.04 CDs to netboot and install 14.04.
I can write the iPXE boot script if there's interest in it.

I think this is a really good idea, and something I have put some consideration into aswell for the server iso.
I'd love to see your iPXE boot script.
Thanks.
