You might want to check out the terminal server built into KNOPPIX.  I have used KNOPPIX
to do exactly what you've asked.  Basically, I turned my laptop into a terminal server
capable of booting PXE clients.  My particular instance was a buggered Windows
ultra-light laptop with no functioning removable media drives.  I was able to PXE boot
it with a Knoppix TS, and save the data.
