PCMCIA Cards

Remote Operating System Installation

For computers in your organization that do not contain a PXE-based remote boot ROM, Microsoft provides the administrator with a tool to create a remote boot disk for use with RIS. The RIS remote boot disk can be used with a variety of supported PCI-based network adapter cards. The Network PC—a slimmed down version of a personal computer without a floppy disk or CD-ROM drive—will be one of the first client computers to take advantage of RIS. Because of its lack of an external floppy disk drive, the Net PC will require use of the Remote OS Installation feature for the installation of the workstation operating system.
