rendrag Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 (edited) from what I googled, it seems thatA- you would need a machine specific image located on a serverB- a NIC that supports booting from LAN (most new ones don't anymore)C- at least a Gigabit network, but even then, loading XP would probably take more time than it would be worth.D- a lot of time to devote to setting it up as it seems no websites I was able to find had how-to's. It was generally done back in the day when 100MB hard drives were $500 Edited July 9, 2005 by rendrag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 You need what is called ethernet booting or PXE booting.You will need a DHCP/PXE SERVER in the lan.Almost ALL nic's have the socket to put a ROM, most of the newish motherboard already have it integrated.See here:http://etherboot.sourceforge.net/http://rom-o-matic.net/http://silent.gumph.org/content/4/7/071-di...indows-pxe.htmlhttp://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=39928If you are not talking about diskless workstations, you can do it with a floppy or hard disk:http://www.roudybob.net/?p=124Search with google for PXE booting or PXE boot and will find the needed info.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
