Network Booting to install linux

[tanveer]

Hi all,
I was willing to install linux on my 2nd PC through LAN which dont have any cdrom/floppy. So the problem is actually how to boot that PC on network?
I know abt kickstart but for that u need atleast a floppy drive which I dont wanna use.
Also searching on net I found something called PXE through which its possible but didn't get a clear concept on that though.
Any idea?

Sorry for being late. I was not at office and solving family crisis. Fact is that my mother was ill.

Please check the following links:

[http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Network-Install-HOWTO.html]

[http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.2-Manual/install-guide/s1-install-network.html]

They have details information about installing linux over network.

Install linux from network, without floppy, USB key or CD

Install GNU/Linux without any CD, floppy, USB-key, nor any other removable media
