Not picking on Steve, but a number of replies have been strictly off point. I have a bootable image. A specific one I want to use, and which does work on compact flash thru a CF/IDE adaptor. I simply wanted to know if there was a way to tell if you could check whether a particular flash stick supported net booting. Thanks for those that replied on topic. I have moved to the CF disk now. My problem now is a matter for another thread :) >
