Hi,
A dell optiplex 9020 boots via pxeboot just fine, newer ones, e.g. 7050 =
boot very slow,
even after upgrading the bios (which fixed some serial issues) it=E2=80=99=
s still very slow.
btw, bootting linux is ok.
I will try ipxe later, but if anyone has any ideas, you are very =
welcome!

thanks,
	danny
