One point that hasn't been made here against PXE (well, not against it, but not in favour it): What if you dont' have another server to PXE boot from? What if it's the only PC in your house? PXE booting might be fine for a multi-server network, but when it's the only machine you have at home and you don't have a CD burner, you'd be screwed :) If the etherboot code can be made to use FTP, that would be good. Otherwise, can we have the mirror servers allow tftp? That would fix this quite easily. I might be willing to find hosting for a "boot image" provided it is small, as scott suggested it might be (3mb?) _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
