Dear Bob,
Your impertinent note works simply to define the author as unwilling (which
most suspect probably means unable) to do the analysis, invest the time, and
shoulder the burden of original work.
The simple truth is, etherboot provides a substantial foundation which, when
combined with genuine professionalism, is an excellent contribution to
industry.
You should reconsider the means by which you express your frustrations. Try
to understand frustration is usually a direct function of unenviable traits
such as ignorance and sloth. By your unpleasantness, you simply expose your
own inadequacies.
Be still. Sit down and study. When you don't understand, study some more. Be
slow to query. Great rewards accrue to those who quietly, vigorously seek
them. If you adopt this different attitude in your notes, I think you will
be rewarded with thoughtful, helpful answers. There is substantial depth on
this list.
:)
Eno Compton

Ken,
The rom-o-matic did not work on win98/IE, all you obtain are small useless
html files. It did work under Linux. I wonder if the links were absolute
not relative, since I have Apache server w/php on my other machine.
I pulled down the distro from sourceforge, and to be honest the
documentation was so crappy I did not even bother. Why clutter my disk when
I don't know it works (or even what it does), and yes I did read the doc
files. You mention that new stuff is on a mailing list, just say how to get
it easily, or why anyone would care. Getting you to complete a sentence is
like pulling hen's teeth. Try to finish a thought for once so we don't have
to make 10 questions out of each phrase you spit out. If I actually cared,
I'd have to ask you what you meant (ie., English) or just guess where it was
and plod along. My expectations are that you would reply with an irrelevant
or totally usely cryptic remark that solves nothing.
What we are trying to do here should be simple (under 2 hours) - but you
make it into a full-time effort for a week. If one have to read every line
of someone's code to use it, it's trash - don't bother.
So you understand the problem clearly: I have ami, 256 ram that can be
written to. I have an rt8139 ethernet card. I want to make bootp or rarp
work (linux). I want an eprom for that card OR reprogram the bios. The
module for realtek card is 16K. HOW do I integrate it????

Subject: [Etherboot-users] Adminstrivia: list archives
A couple of subscribers have pointed out to me that the archive link
from the page Project Info -> Mailing Lists is most up to date and
different from the one you get when you go to the Mailman web interface,
which goes no further than end Dec 2000. I'm asking Sourceforge for
clarification, it seems to be a side effect of their recent relocation.
In the meantime, bear in mind that the most up to date archives are
accessed from the Mailing List web page.
