You don't. A pxe enabled network card is told by the DHCP server to
download the pxelinux.0 file (part of the syslinux package) which runs
and downloads a configuration file and gives a boot menu, so you don't
need a floppy.

Michael -

Thanks for the response. But do you have any more details - or any links
that may assist me in setting this up.

Thanks in advance.
