Then I am at a lose to explain the slowness except to note that etherboot only prints progress dots when it transmits a packet and with slam it needs to transmit many fewer packets so this might be subjective. Except with respect to the rare switches that are broken with respect to multicast traffic (and drop an huge number of packets) mini-slamd should be as fast or faster than tftp. How many dots do you get before a transmission completes? Eric |
