Hello,

I'm having trouble deploying Debian from WAPT using WADS. I followed this procedure which advises against specifying an ISO: https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/quickstart-w ... linux.html

But once the system loads into WADS, I get this message:

Hello Rémi and Happy New Year 2026,

Linux deployment doesn't work with WinPE.

It only works with IPXE. Therefore, you need to boot into IPXE (these are IPXE scripts in the WAPT console).

I'm marking this topic as resolved. :-)
