Setting up a PXE environment can be really easy and might be a really
great time investment (most new hardware can PXE, VMware can pxe,
etc). As an example, a Debian server/router on a "spare" subnet (host
ip of 192.168.0.1) to handle Debian/i386 installs:

apt-get install dhcp3-server tftpd-hpa
cd /var/lib/tftpboot && rsync -av --progress
ftp.nl.debian.org::debian/dists/testing/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/
.
echo -e 'subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.254.0 {\n\trange
192.168.0.10 192.168.1.250;\n\toption routers
192.168.0.1;\n\tnext-server 192.168.0.1;\n\tfilename "pxelinux.0";\n}'
>> /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart
