Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Dear People, Ok, I have two computers sitting in my room, one has it all, hardrive[10gig]PCI ne2000 net card and etc,etc the other one has nothing but a video card and network card no hardrive. only floppy drive. and ram. Is it posibble to have the one without the hardrive run in "diskless" mode or how ever you call it? Could the with out an hardrive boot up offa the network card? and mount its own partition(s) offa the one good main machine? I know and think that this is posssible, And If so, could you possibly tell me how to do it.. i have the machines sitting here ready to go... and i have a crossover cat5 cable and all that already plugged in and I know how to network them. Thanks for your help! :-) - __________________________________ &&&&> FreaKeR <&&&& ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ freaker@null.net | www.freaker.net Bill Gates -- The Evil Emporer! ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
