Heh... I'm glad to be the squeaky wheel, but thus far I've taken an implementer's stance with LB and haven't learned the code. I will try to take a look but it may be the weekend before I have any appreciable time for it. I can provide you hardware, if it will help. The thin clients I'm using can be had for US$10 on eBay. If you're in the states, I'll ship you one. thanks, Jonathan -- linuxbios mailing list [email protected] http://www.openbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
