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. However please note that there are still some serious bugs in the ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ kernel ^^^^^^^ which prevent it to work with netboot properly. [snip] What are those 'serious bougs'?
