i have server 2003 with terminal server and remote desktop on (so i can connect remotly to any user on the machine).

Now i have 2 other computers, on with no disk at all but with 512MB ram, and one with 10GB disk and 16 MB ram (pentium 1 133mhz)
I want both to boot from the main pc, and then run terminal server client.
For that i'm aware of the fact that i need:
a. dhcp server
b. tftp server to supply the kernel+other good stuff to load on the booted host.
I know to set up dhcp, but i don't know any pxe/tftp servers for 2003...
I addition i don't know any windows kernel who is light enough to go up with no envirounement but the one who is enough for the remote desktop client.
I know there is apartial linux solution (kernel+X.org+rdesktop) but i wonder if anyone knows of other solutions as well.

don't underestimatre the stupidity of a user...
