So, if there's some method like broadcasting packets over SLIP it may be possible. Anyway, I could create a normal kernel and boot over a 'in cdrom' filesystem that has some init scripts to establish a SLIP connection and after that mount a root filesystem over NFS. It's not a beautiful way for a system to work, but i guess it's the cheapest one because Broadband adapters are rare and expensive. -- Rui - Rui Paulo <[email protected]> 3F1E DB64 40B0 B027 1F3C 4A4A 1384 42C6 B05A DCB7 "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." -- Leonardo da Vinci
