I have a machine with a bootable ISO stored on it, and I have another blank machine which I want to install the ISO to. They're both on the same LAN (attached to the same switch). How would I go about booting the blank machine from the ISO stored on my primary computer?

Thanks a lot

I think you want a means of pxe booting from ISO images. I searched for a little bit and found this article. I believe that method should work for any bootable ISO image you may have. This is another similar article.

Finally, it appears that this article discusses how to do this from a PXE server you run from Windows.

@datatoo - you're welcome, it was kind of self-serving - I've wondered about this before myself. – Doc Jun 30 '11 at 22:33
@One of the great benefits to answering questions is the research process. You do tend to learn stuff, and that is good. – KCotreau Jun 30 '11 at 23:09
