>From what I understand - to do network booting you need to have a network card that can handle it, along with (and I think this is important since I have yet to see one of these in any network card) the ROM chip that holds the basic information to run the network boot. I'm going to ignore my concerns based on the assumption that Andrew et al have done this before and that they have had network booting work on a 'normal' machine. -Rich -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
