Some of these beasties are of, well, "older" vintage and are unable to

justify the cost and replacing them "just because they're old" doesn't
fly with our cost accountants. I'm stuck with them.
Do they not support PXE booting?  If not, can you boot a CD that contains a PXE boot loader?


PXE boot????  Set up a PXE server?  And that has to be on the local subnet or you have to set up forwarding on your router?  YIKES!

But then I have avoided PXE boot for a decade or more for the above reasons.
