Sorry, Ken, I must have missed that point with regarding the --first16 option. I've have to update the mba how-to doc with this information.
We had planned to integrate imggen into mknbi. Unfortunately, other projects took precedent and the developer did not get a chance to update imggen. I'm no longer working for 3Com/Lanworks. Luckily, the developer of imggen, Nick Kroupetski, is still working at 3Com. I'll send him a request for an update. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, November 24, 2001 8:28 PM Subject: Re: [Ltsp-discuss] PXE and LTSP > >This leads me to my third point, for all of us that use the 905c it would be > >very much appreciated if Conrad would update imggen (if possible) to handle > >the new 2.0.9 kernel images.
