i dont want to boot the system from lan, just the bootnet.img install image. this HOWTO reffers to booting a working system : "Recent linux kernels offer the possibility to boot a linux box entirely from network, by loading its kernel and root filesystem from a server." this is not what i am looking for. all i need is to give lilo a parameter that will load the bootnet.img in the begining of the install proccess ( linux -<something> ) tal. > > Sagi -- -------------------------------------- Amir Tal, System Administrator Whatsup - Linux related news And support - in hebrew ! icq : 15748705 http://www.whatsup.org.il -------------------------------------- ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
