There are several ways computers can boot over a network, but the one mandated by PC99 is called PXE. PXE is a kind of DHCP extension, so all you need is an up-to-date DHCP server and a TFTP server.

A DHCP server and a TFTP server can be set up to handle PXE boot requests. It's up to you what to give the PCs when they boot; several possibilities include

Another bootloader, for instance:
- pxelinux
- etherboot
- grub
- the network install boot image from a Linux distribution,
- or whatever evil program you desire ;)
