Hey up,
Without reading Minasi I suspect that he probably talks about laptops using
PC Slot Cards, the DELL has a built in Intel 100VE NIc that is fully PXE
compliant, and I know other people have imaged the D505 just fine, its a
problem that I appear to be having. We should have some more D505's
arriving soon with XP rather than w2k SP4 so I'll try my luck with them.
Cheers
Kerry
