Yes, this could do as well... but then you loose the possibillity of
having only one (type of) floppy for all clientes, if they have different
hardware (net cards at least), I think.
The nice thing about net booting is that all the configuration is
done in a single place, the server, while the clients simply get (via
always the same floppy) whatever the server ends them over.
