Re: [K12OSN] net boot disk for Compaq Presario 4104ES desktops

[Bert Rolston <bert rolston clear net nz>]

Hi all,

>From the dim dark recesses of my mind (I could be wrong though).

Discussions many moons ago suggested that the TLAN chipset didn't
support PXE / BOOTP. 

Therefore trying to get an image that works will be a waste of time,
increase frustration levels, and result in the consumption of copious
quantities of caffeine / beer / pizza / ravioli / hangi / tacos (AKA
your favourite food).

While the latter may be fun, it is unproductive. :-)

Sorry to rain on the parade, but "Dem's da breaks."

Cheers,
Bert
