Greetings,

The latest on the saga of LTSP and the Vectras.  Flakey is the word, and the 
IDE is just part of it.  But the machines are running the LTSP latest version 
boot image just fine.  Now we are dealing with the "dual boot" problems -- 
booting from the floppy for Linux, booting from the hard drive from Windows.  
We (student and I) found good documentation on selective DHCP options.  By 
now he probably has changed the configuration and is running nicely as dual 
boot.

Our university's IT department came in and was impressed with the project so 
far.  Hmmmm.

Again, one and all, thanks for the input.
