I haven't studied at all LAN boot or bios flash methods. They probably work of course.
About CD burning, CD-RW works... so... That's really the easier solution, compatible with all drives accepting El Torito standard. Now once it's done and with more time, everything is possible. Also physical CD acts like a physical key to boot machine, when you divide login password in two parts, one on CD and one in your mind. If you keep CD with you and machine is stolen, your online data is even safer (Pwd stays with you. The half one on CD and the half on in your head).
About using another machine (wii) as graphic display and sound device : Surely standard streaming protocol, since we have to do it in a clean way so the Opera browser accepts it. Just like Wiideo center does... I strongly suggest everyone to try Wiideo center at least once. Installation is incredibly simple : you unzip files somewhere, you open port 8080 on firewall, and you click exe. Then you can browse your PC hard disk through your Wii to play media files... Amazing...
Anyway I haven't finished studying GPU's on all platforms I'm targetting (360 recently finished thanks to tmbinc, and PS3 starting thanks to IronPeter and Glaurung). Once this is done, I will be able to figure out some unified library and then the real fun will start... (i.e you take a crappy old PC, and you can play on network against friends, playing on their next-gen console with same homebrew title... Maybe not with same graphic details level, but definitely same gameplay. I'm interested in doing Netrek 3D)
