The Air will network boot. It also comes with software for OSX / Win so that you can use the CD/DVD Drives in another machine on the network to use as a drive on the Air.
Combine the two and you can boot from disk!
Or shell out the extra £100 and buy a USB drive

you can set up a network in such a way that the pcs automatically boot and begin installing the OS from a server, when a magic packet is sent
