How do you boot a Linux Distro from a network?

Hi I need to put a Linux distribution called Zorin OS 6 on a network so I can boot from it. For instance I need to put the boot media on the network so I can boot it with another computer. Please help, it is urgent!

    There is no way to do that unless you have a bootp server set up. This would need to carry both DNS and DHCP servers to allow the PXE boot on the network card to get IP address and routing information, and then it would need a suitable OS image for that machine to boot to before it carries out the install. This is a VERY complex server to configure.
