I've used it to boot my PPC 540c and wrongly _assumed_ it would work with the 5300 as well. OK, so is there enough room on a 5300 7.5.2 boot disk to construct a similar net access disk using the NAD 7.5 net work parts? I guess I'll find out as I'll do the same thing when I repartition the HD on my newly constructed 5300cs. There are easier ways, but now I've got a challenge!
