It's unlikely that hardware too old for Netboot will boot Knoppix of any sort. Are we talking about the same Netboot? > - are there any known incompatibilities (like driver foo crashes when > it finds card bar) to avoid when making images for multiple drivers? Yes. Some 8390/ne2000 drivers will crash other add-on cards and the PC. Not just network cards. It'll take down SCSI cards too. That's why you need to specify I/O port. But this is for 8 and 16 bit ISA -- not for PCI. Regards, Berend -- Confidentiality notice: http://ucs.co.za/conf.html |
