That's certainly a possibility.  I wasn't sure he had another system
available with the required network services.  Probably overkill if he
doesn't already have it setup since it requires DHCP, TFTP, and NFS. 
However, Fedora Core 1 comes with a nice tool (redhat-config-netboot) to
help setup a host for network installations and diskless clients.
