Fire up a normally network connected PC
Open a web browser and goto google.
type into the search box "linux PXE boot howto"
select the first link
start reading.

Quite easy when you get used to it..

:-)

(NB: this is rather tounge in cheek, not ment as an insult, PXE and remote 
booting is quite a complex subject and there are many very useful howto's 
on the net that cover off this subject in great detail)
