What I am referring to is, having the mt86.cfg file in a directory other than the TFTP root directory. Ultimately, the end goal is to be in a linux kernel (tinycore 4.14.10), call memtest86 to run with a specific mt86.cfg file, have my machine reboot and run memtest86, upon finishing memtest86 testing the machine will reboot again and resume the original linux kernel (tinycore 4.14.10), where I will be presented with a results log. I would love to purchase a site license and test this live in my company's environment, but I don't want to spend the money for it not to work. Is there any way that I could be given an evaluation copy of the site license version (i don't care if it is a previous version or not).

In general, the mt86.cfg file needs to be in the TFTP root directory.

Is it possible to PXE boot MemTest86 and load the mt86.cfg file from a specific network location?

Are you referring to a specific path relative to the TFTP root directory, or a completely different machine with a different IP address?

Greetings,

Is it possible to PXE boot MemTest86 and load the mt86.cfg file from a specific network location?

Thanks,
