No, the filesize is not known. Further Mr, Okuji has right, the progress bar would destroy the output of `cat', as the TFTP load is transparently done at file read. So the progress bar must be able to enable/ disable. With friendly regards Christoph P. Mario Klebsch wrote: > > -BEGIN PGP S

Hello. I had the same problem on a embedded board, where the PCI Bus Master was not activated by the driver. In older etherboot versions (up to 5.0.4) there was a code to activate the BM mode. Now etherboot does this in gerneral in the PCI stuff. We have to check, if this is also done in the GR

I am not sure. Many different bootloaders I know, which are fetching data via net, have any kind of progess indication. I also know one, which is quiet, the HP PA RiSC boot monitors (PDC). An other boot monitor of a PowerPC machine even displays the percentage of the downloaded file. I liked the

Wheel "\|/-" instead of dots "......"

2002-01-31 Thread Christoph Plattner
Hello GRUBies ! Because of the changes to the new etherboot stuff (good work), the wheel - indicating the net download progress - was replaced by a big chain of dots (new behavior in etherboot). For GRUB this does not look very nice, beucause a big initrd will fillup the screen with dots and the
