Damn...that's the trouble with first-timers....I want the eprom that
would boot the pxe image from the server...& I didn't read it well...bad
concentration while reading...need a few badams everyday ;-)

BTW, are eproms big enuff to save the pxe boot image itself? It would
save bandwidth if it does not have to tftp the pxe boot image...or maybe
that would be neglegible on a lan.  comments?

with regards & thanks.
