If you know who can do it via PXE try. If you're a student you could try get an OEM OS off the school or college

Been playing on a laptop for 6 years, I play Dota 2 with 10fps. Some might say this is impossible, I say its just annoying

PXE concept is simple

but creating a system to make it possible is not really for home usage

it's great for diskless base workstation where 1 server could feed every workstations

 

but for simply installing regular computer?
would you spend 1 dedicated computer and time to make it possible?

or just get 8GB Flash drive and get done with it?
