Never *actually* tried it, but you need to have the RIS service installed
&
running on the W2K box. (you also need a functioning DHCP server).

quite tricky to get working, as there are a few dependencies... It's also
only designed to boot the PC up to *install* a Win2K Pro OS to a client...
so wouldn't be much use to you without a disk...

That's the Microsoft way of doing things, PXE is not a purely MS standard
though, so other server OS's may exist that let you use the PXE
functionality for something more usefull... However, AFAIK, with Win2K, all
you can do with it, is install an image of Win2K on a client...

Sorry...
