Speaking as someone who is currently installing FreeBSD on two rackmount
servers that are so full of disk there's no room for a CD, I'm not
hugely in favour of this move!

OTOH if you can netboot an install (and explain in words of one syllable
how to set that up ;-), I might be happy. Or is that what PXE is?

Cheers,

Ben.
