Many Linux dists seem to do something like this nowadays. Then you also only need enough drivers for the NIC; not even the floppy/CD, since you read that through the BIOS up until you've downloaded the installer and modules. It's got its downsides, to be sure, but it also has some positives. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet" _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
