How to store Redhat 9 distribution on Windows?

Hi,

What is the best way to go about putting RH9 files such as device files, special character blocks, symbolic links, etc. (basically putting a RH distribution) on Windows? I am trying to get a diskless Linux PC to be booted remotely (by having it use PXE boot) and then grab these files from the Windows disk.

Thanks!

Running RH9 is a little like running Windows 98. It's support life ended 4(?) years ago. Fedora 8 will be out in about a month, so you are 8 versions behind the curve. If you do not like upgrading yearly Centos5 has a five year support life and "feels" like FC6.

In "modern" versions we just use samba to grab files from a windows box.
