No, no.... I didn't mean switch init systems, it was a gentle reminder if you
_tried_ to look in init system of Oxygen. The biggest difference is Oxygen's
use of 'apkg' and 'snarf', which makes the entirety run better together.
Further, you don't need a EEPROM to flash, you replace syslinux w/pxeboot
(developed by the same group) that allows you to use virtually any NIC because
the loader is on a physical disk. Oxygen is related because you can use it to
load a remote image or packages and (I think) packages from multiple sources.
Personally, I would be against loading of packages _after_ the init sequence
because of the possibility of problems that would likely instigate. Rather,
there should be a choice of places to download the initial packages from
instead. Check out David D's 'snarf' package for more idea's.

I will, I am just doubtful on the pxeboot side when it comes to PCMCIA NIC's, here is a link I found for etherboot


http://etherboot.sourceforge.net/doc/html/devman-6.html

I also looked at Argons site but there too, support for a small number of NIC's only.

thanks
Erich
