Re: two questions




ok to answer my own post I have figured out number 1, but I am still
getting the same behavior in number 2.  No matter what I do the pc will
not do anything with the kernel.  The bootp server shows no errors in any
of the logs I looked at.  Can anyone shed some light on my issue here.
