How can you install windows xp in 10 pc's through network because you have one bootable CD?

1. If you have a license for one copy of windows, it won't work. You'll always have problems if all 10 computers are trying to run off the same license. 2. If you have purchased multiple licenses, you can just create a directory on each computer called /WINDOWS/system32 then boot each computer from a floppy and install XP from the created directory. Again, that won't work very well if you only have a single license for XP Professional.
