Hello from Gregg C Levine obviously with Jedi Knight Computers I have been studying Ether Boot, and the behavior of the 3COM family of cards, the 3C905 family to be exact. I run Slackware Linux here, when I am not working with Windows, and I am curious as to how you accomplished that. Basically I have been studying the methods behind how a system can be booted diskless from the network, and running that distribution. Naturally I sent off a message to the company regarding that idea, but they have not gotten back to me, since it was sent to the general questions alias, I was not suspecting one. Can you supply those methods, either directly to me, or to the list, and to me. I suspect there are people out there, who are also curious as to how that was accomplished. Since this message originally wanted to directly to go to you, I have then CC: the list, so if you get two copies, as I suspect, just disregard copy number two. ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
