Thumbs up Installing Linux over HTTP


I have one machine running Red Hat Linux Enterprise 4.
My other machine on the network has Windows 2003 server running. These computers are on same network connected by Wireless router.

I want to install Red Hat Linux Enterprise on my Windows 2003 machine but CD Drive is not working properly so I cannot boot from Linux CD drive on windows machine.

I used the same CD to install Linux on other machine but windows machine is not recognizing CD.

My question is can I install Linux on window machine from Linux machine...if yes, how?

Do I need to copy all the CDs to Linux hard disk or is there anyway window machine can boot from linux machine's CD drive?

Any clue will be helpful to me!

Thanks,

systemimager is probably what you need.

Have you done some reading on the link I gave?
Does the box have the capability of network booting?
Do you have a floppy drive in the Windows box?
Why not just replace the cd drive as they are very cheap?
