    pilot linux and pxe boot

    I am trying to utilize some old pc's using pilot linux (knoppix customizations) but most of the pc's bios do not support booting from cd.
    what I am wondering is:
    can I use a pxe capable nic to find the pilot.iso or the iso unpacked on the network on a server directory and boot from that?
    (using Tftpon the server)
    I'm also looking at a usb hub (usb over IP) that can plug into the network that I might plug a usb stick into that may allow booting from that :

    dunno if this will work or not...
    any ideas?

    Has anyone used PXES Universal Linux Thin ?
    http://pxes.sourceforge.net/
    does it save as .img? .iso?

    PXES Universal Linux Thin Client ( http://pxes.sf.net ) can boot from the network and create ISO images as well ( http://pxes.sourceforge.net/features.html ).
    And the ISO image is even small than Pilot Linux so you can use a business card size CD.
