Hi Ken,
For some reasons i do not get any mail from the list anymore. Last was
from 04/25/99.
I subscribed again today and got a positive reply, but i found your
reply to my posting only in the mailinglist archive.
Conerning my netboot problem: I wonder if you didn't receive my complete
posting. I quoted from the announcement of netboot 0.9.0e:
[snip]
- Corrected mknbi-linux so that it now works with Linux kernel version
2.2.x.

kernel
^^^^^^^

Thank you for your help
