Great minds...

A reasonable (and interesting) point, but my main interest in booting
this system via PXE was lack of a CD-ROM drive and *#&@(*&$@(* failing
floppies. It's been forever since I last bought new floppies .. in
fact I just yesterday threw out some 5.25" 360KB ones I found while
cleaning up some old mess. I was hoping the floppy-days were over.
Nonetheless, thanks for your answer. I'll find some other means to
install this box and another box to play PXE games with ;)
Cheers,
Paul 'WEiRD' de Weerd
