It's Intel's brainchild, but it seems to be catching on. Right now Intel and 3Com are adapting PXE technology on some of their cards, I'm sure that more will follow. I've been wrong about these thing before, but I suspect that PXE is here to stay, it seems to be an acceptable, generic replacement for boot roms. FYI: A quick search at Intel's site for PXE will yield plenty of reading material. Some of it good, some of it not so good. -- Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
