You've already asked this before and gotten an answer, and the answer is yes.

Not sure because I never did it, but if your BIOS supports the "Boot From Network Feature" It'll say it when booting, "Press Fxx To Boot From Network", or it'll be in the boot order configuration, then you just have to properly set up another network location with the neccisary boot configuration as per specified by Microsoft, and you should be able to perform a "Network Install", so long as your hardware is supported.
