hi all,

thanks for the advise to install the i386 version of edubuntu on the amd64 
terminal server - i didn't realize that could be done (i'm no linux guru).  i 
installed it fine.  when i tried to connect a client via the romomatic cd, i 
got the following text to cycle through the screen:

Probing isa nic...
<sleep>
Boot from (N)etwork or (Q)uit?

Probing pci nic...
[eepro100] Ethernet addr 00:A0:09:9F:BF:62
Valid link not established.

i think this could either be a romomatic problem (perhaps i didn't create the 
boot disk correctly), a software configuration problem or a nic compatibility 
problem.

i have the computer cabled to a switch and the switch cabled to the terminal 
server's nic.  what can i do to make sure that the terminal server is ready to 
receive client requests via the switch?

can anyone provide any insight?  at least i know it isn't an amd64 / intel 
problem.

also, does anyone know how to bypass a bios password?  one of the clients was 
donated and nobody knows the bios password so i can't configure it to boot from 
CD.  i suppose I could unplug the HD, but i'm trying to avoid doing that if 
there is an easier solution.

thanks,

oe1
