A little more detail, having stepped through this a few times
recently...

For starters you need to get a boot loader onto the box.  Red Hat comes
with a floppy image, IIRC the name is bootnet.img (should be obvious
when you look in the /images directory on the CD), which will bring your
box up with enough smarts to talk nfs, ftp or http over the network.

If you don't have a floppy drive you'll need a network card that can
support a network boot, and you'll also have to have a server on your
net which can offer a boot image via bootp or something similar.

Other than that it's just a matter of having the Red Hat CD exported via
whichever protocol you prefer.
