[AccessD] Network booting Windows XP

Hi John

One of the features of Terminal Server is that you can use dumb
diskless network stations as clients.

No I'm not.  I would like to build a handful of cheap computers with
no
floppy, no cd, no hard disk but I need the processing power of the PC. 
IOW
the PC needs to power up. Load windows from a server, load a program
from
the server and go to work.

Terminal server is generally a full on pc that boots off its own hard
disk
and then loads TS client (from its own hard disk).
