Re: preparation for installation

Hi,

Thanks.  I had read the document about the flashdist you mentioned before I 
sent my request.  Although it is setup under Net4501, I do think the same 
can be done with X86 machine. Right ?  The dynamic dns is the part I am 
trying to get information under machine using CF.  Also the syslog is one of 
the problem which I have no idea how to handle it.  If you have status on 
solving the dynamic dns using ez-ipupdate, please let me know how to do it.  
Thanks.

Clarence
