[ubuntu-us-in] ISO to usb stick.

[John Meuser]

While it is incredibly easy to serve a floppy image as a PXE boot
payload, it's not quite as straightforward for an ISO due to
limitations of size.  You would have to do it more like a thin
client... boot to the kernel with PXE and share the filesystem of the
ISO through NFS.  It should be possible though.
