I agree... but whenever there was an issue with that, Murphy's Law says it would be at a critical moment with the customer standing right there, and it would be 3AM our time. And guess who they'd be calling? > Here's an > idea, and I'm not sure if Tracy's ks had it or not, as some ks's I got > from him had it.

There are some other tasks I've done in a manner similar to that. Maybe that's exactly what I'll do. > Personally I'd get > better field reps that can use a laptop, sounds like your back at the > cable company. :) AHAHAHAHA!!! FWIW, I don't necessarily know that the field engineers are incompetent... I just find it's safer to assume that they are and to act accordingly. It's very possible that one or more of them could handle PXE booting from their laptop. But, if that were the case... wouldn't they already be doing that? ;-) -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * *********************************************************************** -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
