Erm. dracut-network is just one part of dracut and enables the usage of NFS 
for the root device.

'dracut' or 'live-boot' are responsible for providing a writeable boot 
device by layering a writeable layer on top of a read-only media. Either of 
them is necessary to use a CD-ROM as your FAI boot medium.

Well it ~is~ possible to export a R/W NFS mount or use a writeable USB-
Stick/thumbdrive, but you don't really want that. ;)

(You are very likely to want to roll back any changes the client may have 
made to your boot media during installation. The easiest way is to write any 
changes to a virtual, memory backed layer and simply discard this layer 
after the installation is complete.)
