Like I said, what I did for the PXE experiment is poorly documented (in some
pile of paper around here) so we may want to start over. Issues I do
remember had to do with having two DHCP servers on the LAN and different
distros needing to be handled differently because not all .iso's are built
the same way. This was an issue because the PXE server doc I used was
having me copy the CONTENT of an iso to the hard drive and pointing PXE menu
entries at different components for network bootup. I had discovered just
mounting the .iso but never got far with that as I had no clue what
limitations I might run into (e.g. how many mounts one could have
simultaneously, sharing a mounted .iso, how to dynamically unmount when no
remote user was using one of them, etc.).
As to distros, here is a listing of what I have on a portable hard drive:
