She tells me that they work smashingly well. So, why are such beefy boxes being PXE-booted to LTSP mode?? She does this because the laptops were a donation, and not a singl one of them came with a hard disk. Laptop HD's are still kinda pricey. BTW, *there* is a great case for running the apps locally! --TP <div class="moz-signature">_______________________________ Do you GNU!? <a href="http://www.gnu.org/">Microsoft Free since 2003</a>--the ultimate antivirus protection! </div> Shawn Maggard wrote: <blockquote cite="mid27c92d660704030920n796d2610j3c3a14cfd46431ab@mail.gmail.com" type="cite">My HP Pavilion zv6000 laptop PXE boots fine off my server.. just letting you know.. <div>On 4/2/07, Sabino Sakells <<a href="mailto:ecoblue@gmail.com">ecoblue@gmail.com </a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">The laptop has a built-in NIC.

Is it a PCMCIA card? or is it built-in? What are you using to boot, Etherboot or PXE ?
