The laptop has 256M. I was just thinking of "low memory" as in the first 640K of RAM in x86 memory layout.
I was not using the tftpd-hpa server, so I will try that now and let you know how it goes. Also, my card has several boot method options, including PXE and TCP/IP. I was using TCP/IP. Should I try PXE? /Owen On Tue, 2003-02-18 at 01:51, Thorsten Sauter wrote: > > Hello, > > On Tue, Feb 18, 2003 at 01:04:55AM -0500, Owen B.
