In the mail sended by Paul Traina on a different matter, he wrote that "reboot=bios" can also be used in syslinux.cfg instead of the wd1100 module. But I'm not sure if that works with every WRAP BIOS version. > Erich > Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
