 ====== Network Boot of PIXILAB Player ======
-This document describes how to configure your existing [[blocks:server:creating_a_server|Linux-based Blocks server]] to allow [[blocks:porteus_kiosk|PIXILAB Player]] to boot from the server over the network, rather than from a USB stick or internal drive.
-If your server came with Blocks 3 or later from the outset, most of this is already done. If so, you can skip down to [[#installing_pixilab_player_on_the_server|Installing PIXILAB Player on the server]] and continue from there.
+:!: **IMPORTANT**: This method of starting PIXILAB Player applies to player version 6, and is not supported on the current version of PIXILAB Player.
+This document describes how to configure your existing [[blocks:server:creating_a_server|Linux-based Blocks server]] to allow [[blocks:porteus_kiosk|PIXILAB Player]] version 6 and earlier to boot from the server over the network, rather than from a USB stick or internal drive.
+If your provisioned your server from the desktop server image provided by Pixilab, most of this is already done. If so, you can skip down to [[#installing_pixilab_player_on_the_server|Installing PIXILAB Player on the server]] and continue from there.
 :!: If you bring in a Blocks data folder from an older (pre-Blocks 3) installation, you must update the configuration file to enable the tftp server, as described below. Alternatively, consider re-installing your server based on the latest server image.
