[K12OSN] Freedom 9 PXE

[David Trask]

Hi Joe!

Hey....you don't need to enable LAN boot....in fact, don't.  Mine is set
for CD-ROM as the first boot device.....(since there's no CD-ROM....) 
Using PXE the machine should automatically see the server and boot
up.....unless there's an issue with the server.  Is the server PXE
capable?  Can anyone else chime in on the PXE issue?  The Freedom 9
machine he's talking about is an Amer.com thin client with the VIA mobo
and chipset....works fine and I use it with K12LTSP 3.12 (and
4.01)...worked out of the box, but I also have a beefy PXE capable server.
