I'm working with a 1.1 Ghz Celeron on the client, a 500 Mhz Pentium on the 
server, and a 10/100 ethernet.  I finally was able to get my system (the one 
without floppies or CD-ROMs) to do a netboot from a USB Zip disk.  It found 
the server right away and started downloading the kernel.  That was at 4 am.  
It's now noon, and it's still downloading.  The line reads:

"Loading 192.168.100.1:/tftpboot/kernel"  and there's a row of dots after that 
that grows gradually.  Right now there's a row of 16 dots.

8 hours seems a bit long to do a netboot....

How can I speed this up?

Also: This is an ASUS TUSI-M mobo, with an SIS900 NIC chip.  I understand this 
board can boot using PXE.  Is this the right process to add PXE?

1) Copy BIOS image using AFLASH.EXE (and back it up).
2) Download PXE ROM image from ROM-O-MATIC
3) Use CBROM or AwardMod to add the PXE image to the original BIOS image
4) Use AFLASH.EXE to flash the board BIOS with the new BIOS image w/ PXE

Thanks!

Hal
