Thanks kyor. Eventually, my idea is to have a point of network access for all the clients, where they can be booted into the network and get a screen of choices for running all possible helpdesk & admin tools - ghost, recovery tools, antivirus for boot sectors, etc, etc. - and to make all this possible without the help of any CDs, floppies or other removable medias. I really would not mind using any network/server method available for the whole setup, as long as it isn't too complex This is what I am trying to figure out, so why exactly would I need to use a "PXE" server - would one reason be that some of older machines do not support pxe boot? Or any other advantages in using a pxe server? Sure kyor, anytime you are able to reply. Thanks. Meanwhile anyone else feeling like adding some knowledge to the topic, please do so! Much appreciated.
