  I have an old PC (now painted black) which I'm using as an MP3 player
in the living room. Too noisy. Turns out to be the hard disk. Since all
the MP3 come across the network, I'm considering just network booting.

  There are no NFS servers on that wire. I would prefer to tftp a larger
root disk down. I can not really think of any stuff on the MP3 player that
needs to change after it is configured.
  First, however, I guess I need to get a network card that can network boot
with appropriate images to tftp. Any recommendations?
  (This is a K5-133, PCI)
