[Gllug] Network Cards

[Nick Hill]

I'm also interested in diskless/ remote booting. IIRC, You can easily make a boot prom with a TFTP bootloader. 

Check out the Howto's at www.linuxdoc.org

If you need a prom burned, I have a programmer. I will need a Hex or Bin file. 

BTW, where have you seen boot proms for £60?? Maybe I should start selling them!

Regards

Nick.
