[JOS-Kernel] Booting JOS - RARP and BOOTP

[Gilbert Carl Herschberger II]

I am looking forward to using GRUB to boot JOS from a hard drive.

Meanwhile, I haven't given up booting my JOS machine across the network
from my Linux server. My JOS machine doesn't "connect" with BOOTP.

Question: Is a Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) service required
for BOOTP to work?

My book on TCP/IP hints that it might be.

Question: Does my Linux server run a RARP service automatically?

If I had to guess, I would say that Linux doesn't run RARP unless you
configure it that way.
