More info and Evaluation Version at: http://www.pmview.com/ ********************************************************************* Source: Micho Durdevich (micho@matem.unam.mx) Moderator: Trevor Smith (feedback@warpcast.com) ------------------------------------------------------- My fifth article on remote-booting diskless Windows workstations from OS/2 Warp Server is available at http://www.matem.unam.mx/~micho/ripl5.html The article describes new class of Windows RIPL requesters, based on a bootable virtual 16MB superfloppy that holds the whole Windows nucleus (GUI+32-bit networking). The nucleus is used to boot the client and connect to the OS/2 Server in 32-bit mode. The sixth RIPL article (which is in preparation) will deal with diskless systems booting Windows Millennium from OS/2 Warp Server. For now, http://www.matem.unam.mx/~micho/ripl6.html explains in detail how to enable real-mode DOS support in WinME. This is a very important step in setting up diskless WinME requesters RIPLing from OS/2 Server, but I think this simple and elegant procedure has an independent interest... ------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ -------------------------------------------------------
