If PC has a USB port but doesn't support booting from it, you can use pxe boot

It would be a really strange PC, with no bootable USB but with a BIOS/NIC capable of PXE boot. :dubbio:

AFAICR :unsure:while USB and PXE booting were introduced at the same time, USB was adopted faster, at least in comsumer hardware, and while circa 2001/2002 *any* PC would have USB booting, not that many motherboards had a built-in NIC with PXE ROM (and even common PCI NIC's had rarely the PE "ROM" socket actually populated with a chip.

I've got one Compaq notebook, can't remember which model right now, which has pxe option, has USB but doesn't support booting off it. It also lacked cd rom and floppy so this was my way to go
