Thanks Geert,

But this does not apply to my situation, on closer observation, the unit completely locks up. In fact this also happens when I try boot from the Suse 10.2 and 10.3 DVD's. But not the fedora 8 disc...???
And I don't use DHCP to issue my PXE boot, I use Windows Deployment Solutions and have no idea how to do pxechaining with this. :(
Google is not my friend today... possibly I am not searching the question correctly, and could use some guidance.

Chadley
