Hello Kai and everyone, Just was able to get my setup running thanks to the good guys back at the Etherboot discussion list (great resources await there related to LTSP) esp to Ken Yap who personally took the effort to look into my problem (great thanks to Jim�McQuillan of LTSP for suggesting the mailing list). Thanks also for those who helped me on both mailing lists c",
I got stuck really on the Etherboot part and spent most of my 'fiddling' there. i would be glad to assist anyone who has a similar problem as mine. Thanks again guys, my next step now is to clone my setup to the rest of 'fleet'. best regards to all, phil "Kai Schmidt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> quoted last 12/21/01 4:57:20 PM as follows: > >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Philip A.
