Hi all,

I've a strange idea.. We have lots of different types of legacy pcs we need
to join our K12LTSP as thin clients..

Rather than detecting the network card, finding the appropriate disk, etc..
Is there a way to create something of a "thick etherboot floppy"?

Ie: a floppy that contains linux and tons of net drivers that would detect
the network card and then immediately etherboot from that? This would be
preferable to the "guess and check" method we are employing now.. Despite
the fact that it would take a bit longer to load from the floppy..

I suppose this would involve user mode etherbooting? Has this ever been
done?

Thanks in advance!
