Does anyone know anything about the PXE bootloader thing?

its just something im trying to impliment, at the moment, the majority of our terminals dont have floppy or cd drives, so the hdd has to be removed and put on another machine to be ghosted via disk to disk..

all the dell machines support the PXE bootloader, so am wondering if theres something i can setup to run ghost over the net..

Never tried it myself, but what it comes down to is that using PXE boot, it will download it's startup image over the network into memory of the client. In order to do that it will send out a special network message, which a BOOTP (iirc) server will respond to. After a bit of negotiating it will then get that image from wherever the BOOTP server sits.

Norton Ghost does support it as well but I've never used it myself
