That's about why I set up the image I created and I'm using.

It may not be much to some, but since I'm moving away from computer work to do 
the stuff I really enjoy, dealing with changing settings on my DHCP, a tftp 
server, and so on, are a pain and I don't want to have to do that setup and dig 
out my serial cable again when I'm installing on new systems.

But I created the image on the net5501 so the hardware would match other 
net5501 systems.  Still, I won't need PXE and tftp again.
