I have a cdrom from intel. it boots into a standalone system for configuring their motherboard. So far so good. THe system I need to use it on doesn't have a cdrom. but it DOES have a USB port and can boot of a USB drive. It can also boot using PXE. If I look on the cdrom I see nothing special. Certainly no flpooy images or such... How does this boot? Can I extract something from this I can put on a USB dongle to make it boot there instead? Intell suggested I use PXE over the net.. what do I export? julian@julian:cd /cdrom julian@julian:ls -la total 57 dr-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2048 Mar 25 2003 . drwxr-xr-x 22 root wheel 1024 Apr 14 04:08 .. dr-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2048 Nov 14 2002 ACROBAT dr-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2048 Feb 18 2003 DOCS dr-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2048 Mar 24 2003 Drivers dr-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4096 Mar 25 2003 SE7501BR2 dr-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10240 Mar 19 2003 SMaRT -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 20480 Sep 5 2002 autorun.exe -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 47 Sep 5 2002 autorun.inf dr-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2048 Mar 25 2003 diskimag dr-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6144 Jan 27 2003 images -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6577 Nov 14 2002 linux.htm julian@julian:cd images julian@julian:ls -la total 94 dr-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6144 Jan 27 2003 . dr-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2048 Mar 25 2003 .. -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 43 Mar 28 2002 HG.gif -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1685 Apr 16 2002 additional_documents.gif -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1077 Apr 16 2002 additional_documents_bar.gif [...] julian@julian:cd ../diskimag/ julian@julian:ls -a .
