I'm just thankful everytime my board boots from the HDD and (infrequently) the CD-ROM.
What is this "internet" of which you speak?
Can I get it from Tigerdirect.com?

You should be able to create a floppy to do it somehow.
It would be interesting

no to boot from a network is like when u want install the os from a centeral server, like big networks and stuff
like ghost, but different, its used mainly by manufactures to install windows on thousands of puters
there would be no reason for a home user to do it, but in thearoy you could run your pc without a h/d in it and load and run windows across the network , a bit like the old mainframe setup
