Hey guys, 2 quick questions: 1) I am looking to install/include 2 custom network drivers, to include with 2 custom PXES distributions/images (one for a Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit controller, and one for a 3 COM 3C920 (3C905C-TX compatible) controller). How would I go about doing this? (If someone could post a brief step-by-step walkthrough that would be MOST helpful - I'm just a little new to this, and need all the help I can get :P. I assume step one is obtaining the drivers from Broadcom and 3 COM, no?) Would I need to add these drivers to the "modules" directory? or does that not have anything to do with it? 2) A kind of related question: I had read on one of the tutorials/how-to guides (http://trieste.linux.it/node/14) that I could include/map any local drives on the client machines by simply typing the command "mknod /opt/pxes-1.0.x/stock/dist/dev/hda b 3 0" and then running pxesconfig. Is this right? Unfortunately this didn't seem to work for me (after trying to create entries for CD and floppy drives). Is there anything else I need to do? Or some special way I need to add it to/edit the Ramdisk? Hopefully you guys will be more helpful than the Thinstation project folks/mailing list :(. Any help with these two matters would be GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanks in advance! Gil =09 =09 __________________________________=20 Yahoo!
