[Scottish] Remote Boot using DHCP & PXE

Hi folks,

I'm looking at booting a Windows workstation remotely from a Linux server
and was wondering if anyone out there has tried it. I've looked at the
Remote-Boot mini-howto, however it would appear that my version of dhcpd
doesn't support some of the variables in the sample configuration, and
compiling the latest version from ISC didn't help either.

Reason behind this is I have a windows box that keeps corrupting every so
often requiring a reinstall (probably due the the load I put on it), and I'd
like to be able to reinstall an image automagically whenever the need
arises.

Thanks in advance

Darren
