No need to burn all of CD #1.  If you want to network boot then 
../images/boot.iso (a few MB) is all you need on a CD.  Assuming  you 
have  CD burner access its a better choice than bootnet.img since that's 
size restricted to a floppy and consequently lacks the entire suite of 
device drivers,  which in turn sends you back for a driver disk floppy 
....  Boot.iso has the entire game in one small (though  bigger than a 
floppy) package.
