Different approach to same problem. If all my rescue disks are remote and I rely on the network, it doesn't matter what variety of system is on the actual disks. It'd be nice to have similar systems, but it's not required. Our environment is a bit more diverse than most, so that may not be a big issue for other people. You could accomplish the same task with a install/repair system desk captured into a IPLable NSS too, but that's more different than some Unix weenie might be able to handle. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
