I run a dhcp server on a separate box that handles dns, mail, etc. so it 
wasn't difficult to get it set up for pxe boot. I hear some router dhcp 
can't provide the next-server directive which is a problem but I haven't 
tried using a router dhcp. Mythbuntu control center will also setup a 
dhcp server on the BE.
