+## Using PXE (Network booting)
+
+### Server
+
+On another machine running (Arch) Linux (live or normal),  
+you need to install and configure a dhcp and tftpd daemon.
+Dnsmasq is a fine choice which can do both.  
+You also need a nbd (network block device) daemon so the client can load 
+the needed files.
+
+You can find more info on the wiki (TODO: update this)
+[Community contributed documentation](http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Archiso-as-pxe-server)
+
+### Client
+
+Configure your system to try network booting (pxe) first.
+On most systems this happen by default.
+You will get an IP from the server and load all needed files over the network
+automatically.  Once booted, you can proceed as normal.
+
 ## Performing the installation
 You can either use the interactive procedure or the automatic one.
