I did the same thing. My first set of crunching used an email address. The set I'm crunching now did not. You'll note I'm listed twice too

I decided I wanted a real challenge to knock you down this time.
So I started at the bottom and am working my way to the top.

Now if I could just get Scott to write that book "Netboot for Big Dummies." Seems like I never have time to figure it out. Oh yea I am still working seven days a week.

I'm still ahead of you guys at d-fold so when you catch up with me there, I should be caught up with you at f@h.

It will take me what, maybe six weeks to catch up with myself.

Actually it looks more like 24 days to catch yourself.

Now if you would just crank it up a few more notches, maybe you could catch me before I retire.

Sorry can't crank it up anymore and stay in the top 100 in d-fold.
I can't figure out netboot and have no spare time now that I have got a haircut and a real job.

Come over and play at d-fold and I can catch you, Scott and the others at f@h.

Okay, you are in trouble now. I am moving my super fast iBook 600 over to dFold and you only have a 152,000,000 point lead.

How about I just sell you the netboot server, fully configured? Mobo, ram, proc, HD, NIC, video.

Bring it on bad boy! I will even remove one of the machines form the race just to make it fair.

Give me a shout when I should get alarmed.

It really took me a long time to get back in the top 100 so please come join me up here. It should be about 300,000,000 by the time you catch me. About like the amount of time it would take me to catch you in f@h.

Here do this

while I do this

and when I wake up I will do this

and this

Make me an offer I can't refuse. It just means I will have to not visit Frys for a week. You should be able to pull my e-mail address or send a private message.

Will seriously consider this offer as I have no time to set up netboot now and you have a combination that works.

Did you ever find a motherborad that would boot from a boot server without putting another NIC and boot prom on it?

I have some MicroStar 6390 motherboards that I boot using the onboard LAN. The network chipset is Realtek 8101L and it boots using PXE. The only thing that was different from using the separate NIC with bootroms was I had to install a different tftp server that was more robust.

Thanks for the information on the motherboards. Have always had good luck with the boards that use Realtek chip set.

Answered. You should have some also. Let me know where to ship my part of it to so you will have it in hand before you ship.
Thanks for your help, again.
