You helped me with this last fall, and it works fine.

Yep, that's OK.

Oh, OK - not sure I did that yet, but will do so.  I got bzimage months 
ago and have been using it with BL2.1 (which I have not really used much 
from about Jan through April, so am rusty)

Sure.

Thanks, Steven - it's been a longish time.  I put lilo on the other 
computer, FIC, and it can boot BL2.1. Or I can boot BL2.1 on FIC from DOS 
with loadlin.

Oh, I can ping OK, even with the BL3 here on ASUS using just the regular 
zimage.

Yep, that's like you told me before

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Assuming you are on 192.168.1.2 and the server is running
on 192.168.1.1
-------------------------
mount 192.168.1.1:/  /mnt

It didn't work, but hopefully will with bzimage.

Yeh, I tried it, but no success.  Will maybe try again after booting BL3 
with bzimage. And will report back - maybe someone will know.

Many thanks,
