The script make_pelican-1.99.0 available at http://pareto.uab.es/mcreel/PelicanHPC/download/make_pelican-v1.99.0 generates a netboot image, in its first part. After that it generates an .iso image that can be used to serve the netboot image. This works with the latest live-helper and live-initramfs, and it's written for sid. You need to pay attention to the syslinux-* configuration switches, and there is a place where live.cfg is copied to menu.cfg, to make the netboot syslinux boot screen appear properly.
