Eric,
Greatly appreciate your assistance.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the use of "boot disk images". To me, this says
"something.iso" for a CD boot image or "otherthing.ima" (VMWare says
"otherthing.flp") for a floppy disk image. The way I read netbootdisk.com,
when its floppy is used to boot a system, the network adapter is detected and
used to initialize the MSClient. Is this correct? The same would be true if
there was a boot disk image of the floppy created. The files at
netbootdisk.com are just that - files, not an image, but files to be used to
create an image.
I'm wondering if the fundamental issue is not getting a useful boot disk
image. Instead the issue is determining the virtual network adapterused by
VMWare player and using its related MSClient driver. Presumably such a driver
would just slip right into a MSClient configuration.
I feel like I'm chasing my tail here. Clearly there has to be a relatively
straightforward path to gaining access to a printer on a host. I just haven't
found it yet.
Or am I still too confused?George

Hi!
Here are some network boot disk images:
http://veder.com/nwdsk/
http://www.netbootdisk.com/download.htm
http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/
Somehow they seem not linked on
http://www.freedos.org/links/
but that page also is shorter than I
had remembered (with many "..." now?)

Details?

See above :-)
