[K12OSN] Booting older thin clients

Hi - I would like to use a boatload of older pentium machines as k12ltsp 
thin clients. Most are Pentium-MMX computers, though a few might be 
PIIs. I don't think their BIOSs have a 'Boot from network' setting; nor, 
at this point, do they have netboot-capable NICs in them. What steps 
should I follow to set these up as clients? I'd like to batch-order NICs 
and BIOSs (if necessary) so I'm dealing with all similar hardware. Any 
suggestions? I'd love to not use floppies and just have them turn on and 
go. I'm fairly new to this so please bear with me.. so far with this new 
server I've only booted an AMD K2 w/ a 3c905tx using a floppy created 
from rom-o-matic.

Thanks,
  Michael Blinn
