When we last left this thread, I was supposed to get around to setting a few things up and trying to do a netboot of Debian on my U2. Of course real life and work got involved and came up with other plans for me. Now that I have some time, and have gotten a TFTP server setup, where do I get the netboot image from that I should work with ? FJP (Frans Pop), pointed me to http://people.debian.org/~joshk/d-i/images/daily/ but that only has a sparc32/floppy directory. There is no sparc32/netboot directory, nor is there a sparc64 directory. cheers, mehul -- Mehul N.
