You can do it with DHCP and trivial ftp from RH or Mandrake. My suggestion would be to try filtering through the LTSP documentation for DHCP setup - quick setup guide at:

Http://www.ltsp.org/instructions-3.0.html

then all you should need is tftp running with the correct files available.

Not sure if this will load a dos environment or not. I doubt the install binary will run under anything else apart from dos or windows. If you want to boot to linux you will need the full install of ltsp.

I'm helping a mate reinstalled a damage OS (Win98se) installation on his
notebook (the protege 4330ct), however it does not want to boot from bootable CD
(its CD-Rom is connected to the notebook via PCMCIA), floppy(its floppy drive is
connected to the notebook via USB), the only other option is booting from lan.
My question is how do you go about booting from lan, since the other pheriperal
(cdrom and floppy) cannot. I have access to Win98se, Win2000 proffesional,
Redhat 7.3 and the latest Mandrake installed on a machine. I know win98se cannot
act as a server but the other os can. All I need is to get a simple OS such as
dos running on the notebook so as I can start the installation procedure. Can
anyone send me a quick guide or links to do this. My mate only want Win98se
running on this notebook.

Thanks
