Has anyone tried the network boot ability of grub?  You could put that
on a floppy, cd or hd (maybe even pxe boot a copy...) and it could
allow multiple boot choices with a timeout and default.  I thought
I saw an iso image once but the first likely-looking match in google
today is this grub floppy-builder site:

I'd like to have something that would give the client a boot-time choice
of running rdesktop-only, thin Linux, fat(knoppix-like) Linux, or
starting a network install with everything that changes kept on the
server.
