How to Network Boot

[owais]

Hey, Anyone know how to do a network boot? Either on a desktop system or laptop?
THanks.

Well, first off, you need a network bootable OS such as Win2k Server on your network somewhere. From there, it all depends on your network card. With some, you are able to boot straight from the BIOS, otherwise you would need to install the RIS (Remote Install Service) boot utility to a floppy and boot off of that. From there (if your card is supported) it would contact your Win2K server and go on from there.
