Author question about network install

I have this question on a MSPress 70-215 book that confuses me.

Q: You are installing Windows 2000 over the network. Before you install to a
client computer, what must you do?

A: Locate the path to the shared installation files on the distribution
server. create a 671MB FAT partition on the target computer (2 GB
recommended). Create a client disk with a network client so that you can
connect from the computer, without an operating system, to the distribution
server.

So my question is, why do you have to create a FAT Partition before running
a network install? Why cant you just pop in a network boot up disk, with no
partitions on the drive, run the winnt switch to start the network setup,
and have text mode create the partition for you like you how you usually can
doing a manual install from a cd?
