Hi all,

I know this will sound stupid, but how is the boot.flp image
built.  I just got my new server at work today and was trying
to install 2.2.2-RELEASE via ftp and my provider kept waxing
my session after a couple of minutes.  I know while at home
this happens too unless I do the following to keep the link
alive:

ping -i 60 provider.domain.name

I ask because I would like to figure out how to put ping on
the boot.flp image so that I can run it in the holographic
shell during the install.

Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,

Steve
