Sure, abolutely. But...

The server is already installed. The clients, are "production" machines that 
just cannot be wiped out as they are Rock's bread'n'butter. We cannot mess 
with them.

And the second problem is the NIC cards themselves: they are a 
motherboard-integrated, Gigabit-ethernet only supported in the very latest 
kernels. All this has made them (so far) impossible to get a floppy image 
from rom-o-matic.
