Hi All, Many thanks for all of the replies. Booting via tftp definately works. I have yet to get the installer to complete (it always hangs halfway through), but I'm devoting some time to it when there's a pause in work. I've dumped the blade 150 (since it's having some other problems) and am now concentrating on a 100. -- Sincerely, Matt Dunford Unix Systems Administrator DOE Joint Genome Institute url: http://www.jgi.doe.gov email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: 925-296-5844 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
