Excellent! A general document describing the booting technologies is a very valuable thing. I've always tried to tell people that the LTSP takes over once the kernel is in memory. It's up to other technologies, like Etherboot or PXE or Lilo or Grub to get the kernel into memory. > > > The only reason I push the pxelinux method, is because that is the > > only method that I have had time to setup and use, and that is the > > method that I can support. > > Exactly.

I'm doing all I can to get LTSP-4.0 out the door. Although, I will make sure that I'm available to answer any questions, if someone else can do the bulk of the work.
