1 If You have somewhere running PXE configuration, You can run liveCD
2 remotely from some pretend-nfs-serwer.

4 I've done that using simple pxe-configuration as follows :
5 LABEL gentoo-nfs
6 menu label ^Gentoo over NFS
7 KERNEL gentoo/gentoo
8 APPEND initrd=gentoo/gentoo.igz ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs
9 nfsroot=10.0.0.1:/srv/nfs/gentoo
10
11 And files gentoo and gentoo.igz was copied from live-cd i suppose, and
12 /dev/nfs was was livecd as far as i remember.
13 I've done that few months ago, can help but cannot remember all details now.
