It's not really all that hard. You need to have a tftp server running on the server host, and you need to have the proper stanzas in there mapping the MAC addresses of the clients to the correct boot string and kernal image. I've got some scripts at work I use to setup clients for a kickstart setup, which should be mostly the right thing to do here. Or just google for 'PXE kickstart setup' and see what you find. I don';t have my work bookmarks handy now, and I'm going to sleep early. Quick question, will the server host the /usr and other filesystems on the clients via NFS, or will the clients be running out of a local RAM disk holding their images? Makes a difference. You might try googling 'PXE boot Ubuntu live', the first hit looks like it has good info. Feel free to write me if you want more details.
