Jim, this is intriguing. (David, I have indeed tried to fix the Etherboot problem, and I've lost too much of my remaining hair on it to continue down that track...)
If I were to take the time to prepare myself a bootable CD (using Timo's rescue CD builder) that installs LTSP onto a hard disk, would there be any interest in the .ISO file? Might be a good way to make use of an old hard disk if you don't feel like messing with an Etherboot ROM, right? -Ed On Tuesday 01 July 2003 19:40, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > On Tue, 1 Jul 2003, Ed Suominen wrote: > > For some weird reason, one of my thin clients quit booting over the > > network.
