Syslinux - Feb 2003 - PXELINUX,ISOLINUX and NFS support

Hi,
    I have been using isolinux for couple of months now and has been
working fine. Now i have a scenario where i want to install the isolinux
image from the network.

1) Is PXELINUX the solution for me ?
2) Does PXELINUX apply only for booting and not for installing the
remote machine ?
3) Does PXELINUX support nfs installation instead of tftp ?

Any inputs regarding this would be appreciated.
Regards
Karthik

Well...

Isolinux was created in order to assist you to boot 
from a CD-ROM device.

Pxelinux does the same but it will only boot a kernel 
and an initrd-like images from a tftp server.

So, if you have net support on your initrd image, yes, 
you can use pxelinux to boot from the network.

Read the docs on the website.
