Do you need to modify the install media in order to use expect? I'd like to read more about the process.

You can netboot Linux. Knoppix [1] offers Terminal Server which configures DHCP, TFTP and NFS so that you can boot Knoppix from the local network.

Yes you do but you usually netboot to do large installations so this is just a case of adding a new root device with some extra tools on it on your netboot server.

There is an official solution in -current that involves DHCP but I don't know the details.
