I'll probably do something similar to this. What about booting from an
ISO on another machine? Is that possible as well? I mean, I'm sure it
is, I just don't know how. Is that what would be considered a "network"
boot? If I can help it, I will build this machine without external
drives at all. The only things I would want one for is:
a) writing files. For back up, etc. Yes, I can do that on the
network with NFS or Samba, and so I will. No biggie.
b) Playing with live cd's. On a network boot, do I even need to burn
the cd? How would this work?
