Hi Adam, Glad you like what you see so far... :-) My plan is to add PXE boot (not install, or at least not automatically saving config) to 4.1-beta1 soon after we get 4.0 released. As soon as I have something that is Beta quality (even before 4.0) I will happily let you have a copy to play with. Part of the problem is defining the buildtool configuration to create a very different initrd for PXE boot without duplicating all of the config for the non-PXE boot. Personally I am not a fan of TFTP - it is slow and insecure. I know we need it for part of the PXE boot sequence but IMHO other protocols like HTTP or SSH are better for the main file downloads, so I would prefer to support those. With "curl" you get the choice to use TFTP or something else. davidMbrooke ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Xperia(TM) PLAY It's a major breakthrough.
