School using Linux

[Brian Kelsay]

That reminds me, it might be the etherboot guys, but I know I followed a link from the LTSP page 
that allowed me to build custom boot floppies for whatever NIC you have in your thin client.  THis 
will save you from having to buy or burn eproms.  Hope its not too late.  Somebody I talked to 
about a project like this was going to mount the floppy drive so that it was inside the PC case and 
the floppy couldn't be removed.  All the PCs he was making into thin clients already had floppy 
drives so it wasn't saving him money to leave them off.
