[K12OSN] Interesting conversation....concepts vs. OS

[Debbie Schiel]

COOL!! Your reply led me to this post:

LTSP on win98 boot menu
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/k12osn/2002-December/msg00465.html

And ... It works!! I put the rom-o-matic .com file in c:\ and made 
changes to three files and TADAAAAH! That was SOOOOOO easy!

Thanks for your contribution & to Bruno Vernier for writing that 
original post.
