+== Current Status 2/18/2014 ==
+
+The current build package for making pxe images lives on:
+{{{
+console.sb5.orbit-lab.org:/root/pxe/omf/pxe/
+}}}
+
+In there is a make master make file with all the parameters to build the kernel / initramfs image pair. It will also build a pxelinux.bin from sources. This version of pxelinux.bin doesn't need to match with kernel / initramfs pair. 
+
+in the Makefiel the values of the following variables control what kernel directory the make process will consult to build a kernel:
+{{{
+KERNEL_VERSION = 3
+KERNEL_PATCHLEVEL = 0
+KERNEL_SUBLEVEL = 4
+}}}
+
+In the /root/pxe/omf/pxe/src directory should be a directory named linux-VERSIONNUMBERS. In this directory is the config file for the kernel being built. 
+
+Additionally ins the same source dir is a busbox-VERSION directory with a .config file that controls what features are built into busybox.
