[Mitch says:] Hey Diego - thanks... I total get the concept of "self-help"
in opensource... I've been contributing to a few projects off and on for
years, but I have to know what I'm doing before I write a doc for someone
else ;-)

The image references setting boot file names and copying documents that I
don't yet know the source of in a pre-built image - I think I (or the
document) might be confusing PXE boot with tftp configure... but there are
still big areas to write about - and I'm sorry - I've never heard of a
squash before reading your site - a bunch of new concepts for me.

Pxelinux.0 for instance - it's not on the iso that I can see... and it isn't
in the 1.0 tftp targz...

I'm not critisizing - I understand "work in progress" and am impressed how
much easier this is than the last time I tried to build my own.

Craig says I need files generated from a Linux box and has graciously
offered to help with that - I don't run Linux presently (FreeBSD and
Windows) so I was starting with the MS windows environment how to.

Once I have files I'll be ok - I thought I was just downloading the wrong
archive or missing something stupid.

Thanks!
