PXE is too much "magic", IMHO.  Unless how-to setup up a PXE boot server
for home is included.

The issue with using PXE is that it doesn't teach someone how to create
a USB flash drive or use an ISO. Learning to create and boot from a
flash drive is an important skill. For someone outside our community,
they've probably never heard of an ISO, much less touched one.

Just another opinion.
