Actually it's not at all. Network booting provides a very fast and
efficient method of starting an installation. Just a simple DHCP
request, followed by a tftp connection to pull down a kenrel/initrd
image provided on the first installation CD, and you're set. We use
syslinux as the boot loader, so we can have a nice kickstart menu where
the installation techs just pick the type of system that they're
installing and the kickstart will automagically start.
