[KLUG Members] little game of remote installing

[Greg Mason]

would you like to make a wonderful donation? :)

the reason that the rules apply is that we have no extra hardware. our 
budget is pretty much exhausted with getting these machines.

these machines currently have winXPee on them, and it was installed via 
booting via PXE from a WIndows 2000 server running Remote Installation 
Services.

would I have to setup a server to boot from via PXE and then run the 
installer from there?
