It's ok - I was just kiddin' because it's known that I'm not a big fan
of the SuSE distribution for several reasons - but I'm far away from
wanting to start a distro war here. So to make it clear I really was
joking.

Calvine, what I'm asking myself is, if the box actually has connection
to the net. Becuase if you don't get a single packet out on bootp time
then something really is broken. So please try to check in any way if
the box has netconn - does it have an AUI ? Some SGI systems seem
to use that as first ethernet adapter and have problems with it ...
HTH, Klaus
