Jerry (also cc'd to questions@freebsd.org), I'm quite interested in getting FreeBSD set up to allow hosting of Diskless FreeBSD based X-terminals. I've installed FreeBSD 4.1 a couple of times and am slowly finding my way around it. I wonder if you've got time for a few questions? FreeBSD supports something called PXEboot. I think this is something the Netcard has to implicitly support and I don't have an cards that will do it. Is PXEboot any use to me? I notice that src/sys/i386/boot/netboot no longer exists. What should I use in it's place to get network cards booting? I've come across etherboot. Is this now the preferred way of doing things? Should I still use bootpd or move to the ISC DHCP v2 server? Is there a more up to date (and in-depth) description of how to build diskless Xterminals with FreeBSD anywhere? Are you planning on updating your page at any stage? Thanks heaps. _____________________________________________________________________________ http://geocities.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Australia & NZ GeoCities - Build your own Web Site - for free!
