It is pretty easy if you have a machine that has a nic that supports it.
Do not use the pxe rpm. Use a linux dhcp server and tftp. If you want config
file examples etc. let me know. the mistake I made when I set it up initally
was to try to use then pxe rpm. It works but the documentation is borked and
using a linux dhcp server is much easier. Of course if for some reason you
cannot use a linux dhcp server then AFAIK the pxe rpm and tftp are your only
choice. :-(
FWIW building a ks.cfg file that suits your needs is much harder than getting
pxeboot to work.
