If I want to install either Win2K/Win2Kserver or WinXp over a network - I obviously need some way of getting the client/target computer to connect to the network... So what do I use to do this, a boot disk with a network client? Where do I get this, how do i make one? Also helpfull if anyone knows of any sites withj more info on how to do this... Thanks

Yes, you would use a boot disk that included network drivers. This site has very detailed sets of instructions on how to create one: http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/network/

nice/useful link/resource - Zoe; another for the files - tanx! And supporting Zoe's input - some other similar resources... Browse your way around: http://www.helmig.com - it's all there in the dos/'9x/nt sections; e.g. one area being http://www.wown.info/j_helmig/dosclien.htm and post-2 at: http://www.computing.net/windows2000/wwwboard/forum/42916.html gives other assorted links etc. all about dos-client...
