How to do a network install of w2k?

I have a couple of PCs that have no floppy drives or CD-drives, but do have PCMCIA slots. These machines also have network cards & I have a home network with a couple of "normal" PCs on. I also have a 128 mb PCMCIA card. The PCs in question can boot from the PCMCIA slot.

What I want to know is: is there a way to install w2k over a network, like how you can do linux installs over a network? And how is this done?
 
I'm sure you can with linux but I have no clue.

For windows to do a network install you need a couple of things.

1) you must have a mobo that supports boot from nic
2) you must have a nic card that supports bootp


If you have those then the easist thing to do would be to create a share with the win2k contents (I would be more specific but I forget what exactly you need, it might just be the i386 folder).

This place might help.
