For those of you trying to image computers with Clonezilla and have any
(*dare I say the name*) Cisco switches, you will have timeout issues.

I've recently figured out a resolution and I'd like to share it with
everyone so that in the future someone else does not have to work as hard to
get it accomplished.  [ It's sad - we had to drop to using a 10Mbps hub to
get the Linux lab imaged due to timeout issues - rather slow! Elapsed time
has been cut down from upwards of an hour or more (80GB drive or so) to the
*new record of 20-25 min!!!* ]

I just turned off STP for the whole switch and voila - Clonezilla harmony.

Thanks again,
Mike

PS:  Vyatta Devs, when does the Vyatta Switch debut???

Commands for anyone wondering or wanting how this is done.

*All ports/whole switch *
enable
configure terminal
 no spanning-tree vlan 1
end
show spanning-tree     (check to see that it's off)

*Single port(s)*
enable
 configure terminal
interface fastethernet 4
no spanning-tree vlan 1
end
show spanning-tree     (check to see that it's off)
