Hello everyone

I have one machine with neither cdrom driver nor OS, how should I set up
linux on it? If there's one windows os, I may copy the ISO files into and
install from H.D, but I don't have. If I set up one network installing
server, and install from network, I need to run from cdrom firstly. I
remember it's possible to setup one nfs installing server and then boot
the machine from network to set up operating system, does linux do this?
I'm using red hat. Thanks for your help!

If you have a floppy drive, some distros, like Mandriva, have images that
can boot from floppy then install from one of the distros mirrors over the
internet or off your network installing server.

fwiw, ditto debian.
