-## About Warewulf
-
-### History
-
-For over two decades, Warewulf has powered HPC systems around the
-world. From simple “under the desk” clusters to large institutional
-systems at HPC centers as well as enterprises who rely on performance
-critical computing.
-
-Through the evolution of Warewulf, we have seen various iterations
-provisioning models starting from CDROM / ISO images to Etherboot
-(predecessor to PXE), then PXE, and more recently iPXE, but even
-during these different bootloaders, Warewulf in it’s heart, has always
-been first and foremost a stateless provisioning system (e.g. the
-operating system node image is not written to any persistent storage
-and rather it boots from the network directly into a runtime system).
-
-Warewulf v3 has been in production for over 6 years now as it has
-stabilized into a very solid and full featured solution. But over the
-last few years, there have been many innovations in Enterprise
-technologies which can (and should) be leveraged as part of
-Warewulf. Additionally, some of the lessons learned from Warewulf v3
-architecture should be rolled into an updated architecture for
-provisioning management.
-
-### Warewulf v4
-
-Leveraging this legacy of provisioning and cluster management brings
-us to where we are today. The next generation of Warewulf. Warewulf v4
-is a complete rewrite in GoLang, taking in the legacy of what we've
-come to expect with Warewulf, bringing it into the present, and
-looking out into the future.
-
-Warewulf v4 combines ultra scalability, flexibility, and simplicity
-with being light weight, non-intrusive, and a great tool for
-scientists and seasoned system administrators alike. Warewulf empowers
-you to scalably and easily manage thousands of compute resources.
-
-### Architecture
-
-One of the design tenants of Warewulf is how to scalably administrate
-many thousands of compute nodes. Generally speaking, operating system
-state introduce a surface for potential discrepancies and version
-creep between nodes and thus Warewulf has always gone with the "single
-system image" approach to clustered operating system management.  This
-means that you can have a single node "image".
-
-At its core, Warewulf v4 focuses on what has made Warewulf so widely
-loved: simplicity, ultra scalable, lightweight, and an easy to manage
-solution built for both scientists and seasons system administrators
-to be able to design a highly functional yet easy to maintain cluster
-no matter how big or small or customized it needs to be.
-
-## iPXE
-
-Warewulf uses iPXE for network boot. Typically iPXE is provided by the
-operating system; but the iPXE binaries can be built with
-`scripts/build-ipxe.sh`. This script accepts command-line arguments that are
-passed to the underlying `make` process. e.g.,
-
-```bash
-
-echo "#!ipxe
-echo Tagging with vlan 1000
-vcreate --tag 1000 net0 autoboot || shell" >vlan-1000.ipxe
-
-sh scripts/build-ipxe.sh EMBED=$(readlink -f vlan-1000.ipxe)
-```
-
-By default, `build-ipxe.sh` will attempt to write iPXE builds to
-`/usr/local/share/ipxe/`. This path can be specified using the `DESTDIR`
-environment variable. Other supported environment variables include
-`IPXE_BRANCH` and `TARGETS`.
-
-```bash
-
-IPXE_BRANCH=master TARGETS=bin-arm64-efi/snponly.efi DESTDIR=. sh scripts/build-ipxe.sh
-```
-
-Update `warewulf.conf` to use locally-built iPXE.
