Re: [2] [Ltsp-discuss] Option to boot desired OS

[Jim M. <ja...@mc...>]

Philip,

Etherboot has the ability to boot various operating systems, and I think
it has a method of supplying a menu which will allow you to choose
which image to download.

Check with the Etherboot mailing list, you'll probably find what you need.

Good luck,
