i came across somewhere that it is possible to set grub up to diskless boot... does anyone have any experience doing so with lmce?  it would save me harddrive space on computers that i want acting as md...  thanks

That will allow you to make a boot disk, even on floppy... to pxe boot..
The only intuitive interface is the nipple.  After that it's all learned.

then what do i do wit that disk image??  how do i tell grub to boot from that?  is that  grub only booted when the disk is in the drive?  is there a way to make it constant on an existing grub setup??

Another way is with a special version of GRUB, as described in the wiki: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/GRUB_PXE

You don't need GRUB.
