Well I've read the FAQ twice, but it is not obvious to me what this is. Do 
I understand correctly this is CD that downloads at the beginning the menu 
from net and then starts the usuall network install of selected system? Or 
does the menu entries start the pxeboot that loads an installation 
system from network as usuall pxe system boot? (Also it is not very 
obvious what to do with bfo.usb image..)
