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?
