Even then, it's still pretty dodgy.

Post #125,394 by folkert 11/12/03 4:08:26 PM Reply	No... the PXE extension is For booting before Bootp. PXE is typically used for Maintenance or other types of "non-usercontrolled" times. PXE is used by Norton's Ghost server which distributes the images as needed. Novell has ZENworks that can install things on the machien without even booting the hard disk for real. It just writes striaght to the disk. The PXE environ for Novell is a Small Linux Distro that is either on the HD or from TFTP. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey*
Post #125,400 by deSitter 11/12/03 4:37:42 PM Reply	Re: No... the PXE extension is Right - like IBM's old token ring boot pROMs. IBM PS/2 servers could initiate an OS/2 "CID" install. It was remarkable to watch - just plug a bare machine with nothing on it into the network - it booted off its token ring card and OS/2 just came down the wire. Installing a machine was literally a matter of assembling the pieces, if not already assembled. I never saw Windows even approach the simplicity of it. The PS/2 BIOS autoconfigured all the hardware and it just worked. This was in the Windows 3.1 days! -drl
Post #125,410 by folkert 11/12/03 6:37:01 PM Reply	ZENworks does all that and more... Novell took that idea and expanded on it tremndously. Incremental imaging... it just works, providing the foot work is done around windows. It's like Windows Update on Steroids... On 16 more rounds of Steroids too boot. AND it does Ground up builds if you want automagically. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey*
