This document describes how to set up a thin client deployment using PXE boot in a Microsoft-dominated network environment. Key steps include: 1. Configuring the DHCP server to provide PXE boot options and boot file information. 2. Preparing the RIS server by creating a PXE directory structure and boot images using the PXES tool. 3. Addressing bugs in PXES related to USB support, Samba password changes, and keyboard mappings to allow booting into a Linux environment and connecting to Windows terminal servers.
