That is a vering interesting issue.
In fact I am thinking about implementing this feature, perhaps for v1.0 final.
Basically the route to follow is the following:
Install pxelinux on your tftp server
Hack Bering /linuxrc to be able to read the packages from the tftfp server 
rather than from the floppy. So you would need to a statement like
boot=/tfpt/192.168.1.20 in your pxelinux.cfg file (192.168.1.20 being the IP 
address of your server). This is the messy part of the job since /linuxrc is 
a bit messy and would in fact need a fresh rewrite to begin with...
That is basically all unless you want to be able to backup the packages to 
the server in which case you will have to hack the backup scripts as well.
Also tftp client from busybos would have to be added.
Any reaction from the devel list on this ?
Jacques
