Hi all

2nd post in a few seconds, LOL

I´m trying to put up a small network at home collecting the old PCs that I 
have.

1st (Tania) is a AMD XP 2000+ with 256DDR/ hda 6.4GB-hdb4.3GB running dual 
boot WinXP Pro and a Desktop install of Fedora Core 1. This is my main 
workstation.
2nd (Catia) is a Pentium II 350 Mhz with 192SDRAM/ hda 40GB running a 
stripped version of FC_1, I use it as a Server for Tania, mainly multimedia 
files in Samba. When I say stripped, I mean without any package, only the 
kernel and the basics.
They´re connected trough crosslink ethernet. With these two it works great, 
nothing like windoze crap use to, :).

Now comes the itchy part; I have a Pentium II 333 Celeron(David) and I 
wanted to put it to work as a small DNS and DHCP Server for Tania and Catia. 
This way, I would have my hole network connected to the Internet without 
much hassle.  David has no hard disk.
Can I make Catia a BOOTP server with a small partition to boot David so I 
wouldn´t need any hard drive to it??? Does any one knows a quick but 
understandable way to do it?
Pls, forgive me for the somehow crazy post but I don´t know how to best put 
it.

Tkx in advance
