+Example localizations may be listed at [path to tm-scripts]/server/configs.
+As with the stages, the configs are based on modules. That way you can easily
+link to existing modules and add own configuration modules to 
+[path to tm-scripts]/server/modules if needed.
+
+To automatically pack one of the configs under [path to tm-scripts]/server/configs 
+run the openslx script as follows:
+
+# ./openslx <IP of build machine> -k <config_name>

+An archive will be created under [path to tm-scripts]/server/boot/[IP or local]/config.tgz
+As mentioned above you can link or copy it into your webroot dir.
 
 
 10. iPXE: TODO
 
+Currently we use iPXE to deliver kernel and initramfs at boot time via HTTP.
+That is also the reason why kernel and initramfs are provided on a webroot instead of a 
+classical tftp directory.

+iPXE can be downloaded here: http://ipxe.org/

 This will be most probably not being required in the future, as relevant 
 features are available in recent Syslinux versions (6.0.0+).
