- disk-on-chip
- the internet (WHAT THE FUCK???)
- lastly: an IR port (PDA, Laptop...)
is it just me or did i miss a shitload of technological advancements?
btw: anything beyond standard floppy, standard HDD, and standard optical, i did not test yet
Soon our fridges will be able to do it or maby our voice's :D
Any more of this and you'll get a boot up your ass. :P
I'm just thankful everytime my board boots from the HDD and (infrequently) the CD-ROM.
What is this "internet" of which you speak?
Can I get it from Tigerdirect.com?
Pretty cool :)
how do you setup a network boot? i have a network now so i wanna try it out, how does it read the os on a server or whatever else i put it on?
You should be able to create a floppy to do it somehow.Quote:

no to boot from a network is like when u want install the os from a centeral server, like big networks and stuff
like ghost, but different, its used mainly by manufactures to install windows on thousands of puters
there would be no reason for a home user to do it, but in thearoy you could run your pc without a h/d in it and load and run windows across the network , a bit like the old mainframe setup
