You mean the most awesome boot prom ever, the Sun boot prom, based on forth? My first exposure to Sun's openboot system was a real eye opener. You can do things (network installs, network boots) that are nigh unto impossible on a PC (unless you delve into PXE, which is a mite more difficult to get running). Silly workstations to have such a powerful firmware system. :) Michael > > > ____________________ > BYU Unix Users Group > http://uug.byu.edu/ > ___________________________________________________________________ > List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list -- Michael Torrie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
