It's not just me being daft then!
Does anyone here have any quick pointers to how I do a complete network install on a PC? I have had a look around and found some information which generally starts above my level.
At the moment I'm thinking of putting something like IPCop on the box, as it has two network ports and would be a good basic appliance for that job (handling DHCP etc for the rest of the network); I can use the spare disk space as a squid proxy and make other routine jobs a bit easier (like caching my .deb and .rpm packages for a start). But I don't think it should really make much different what distro I use.
I know I need to set up a TFTP server but the whole concept of booting over the network is something I've never really got my head around. (It's something it'll do me good to learn, too.)
