Hi All, Just an update. The daily netboot is working for me now. Installs flawlessly - my thanks to everyone who has worked on it! I've added sparc to our autoinstall system. Added a few sparc systems to dhcp, changed one architecture line in tftp and poof they're all in sync with the rest of our network. Ah, debian is beautiful. -- Sincerely, Matt Dunford Unix Systems Administrator DOE Joint Genome Institute url: http://www.jgi.doe.gov email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: 925-296-5844 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
