Does Edubuntu 5.10 include Etherboot support as part of a default

Please tell me it's so obvious that I'm looking right past it.
yes, edubuntu works fine with the PXE emulating etherboot images
from
http://www.rom-o-matic.net/
Thanks Oli. So does this mean I must program by bootroms with
the .zpxe ROM file off romomatic if I want them to work with
Edubuntu?
Since this thread died, I thought I'd better revive it, since I am
still left wondering. My NICs are programmed with binary ROM images
and fail to boot the clients (they work fine with K12LTSP, so I know
it's not the NICs or the ROMs that are faulty). Are you saying that
Edubuntu ONLY works with PXE ROMs?
sorry for the late answer... nobody in the dev team has NICs with
etherboot roms yet, so beyond using the rom-o-matic bootfloppies we
havent made tests with EPROM driven NICs i suppose it will work fine
with the .zpxe roms from rom-o-matic, i cant just say it will work.
i'll
try to get my hands on a EPROM driven NIC as soon as possible to
confirm
that.
Send me a physical address and it will be my pleasure to courier one
off to you on Monday.
cheers
