Linux install without a linux server in place

I have a customer at a colocation facility and they wish to add a red hat linux blade to the array that is already in place, we do not have an existing Linux server to do the imaging with but there is a Windows 2003 server already in place. Is there a way to do the imaging without using another Linux box. The customer does not want to put in another server but wants to have red hat installed
Any help that could be provided would be appreciated

Re: Linux install without a linux server in place

Attached is an UNSUPPORT solution to run NFS on a Windows server which will allow you to perform unattended installs of RedHat. However if your wanting to perform an image deployment you'll still need an initial server to capture the image from.
