Feature idea: network based livecd installer

[Orion Poplawski]

Inspired by Jeff's post -

I'm really impressed with the install speed of the LiveCD installer. 
What I'd like to be able to do is to essentially do the same thing over 
the network - pxeboot into an environment that can pull the LiveCD image 
of the network and install onto the local harddrive.  I really haven't 
had a chance to look closely at what's involved though.  Seem possible?

I'm really disappointed with the speed of installs lately and looking to 
speed things up.  We do a lot of identical installs here and it would be 
nice to do the depsolving/filesystem creation on a fast server and then 
just dump it onto the client.
