[ale] PXE Installation Help

[Shade Alabsa]

I just recently bought an old Dell Poweredge 2650 rack server to play
around with. While trying to install Ubuntu Server via CD it kept
giving me errors and it doesn't support USB boot options. I was
wondering if anybody who has some experience with PXE installations
would be able to help me with it. In the end it's essentially going to
become a web server if that helps at all.
Thanks,
Shade
