Why? Plain curiosity. I can do with netboot. My old U1 has no CDROM drive. It sports a running OS though, so it would had been aesier if I could dd a boot image unto the swap partition and fire from there, than to configure the other box for doing netboots. Now. is it planned for the 5.0 release? If not, I might be interested in trying to do it myself. -- Jesper I play UNIX!
