Re: Image file too large for low memory
The laptop has 256M. I was just thinking of "low memory" as in the first
640K of RAM in x86 memory layout.
I was not using the tftpd-hpa server, so I will try that now and let you
know how it goes. Also, my card has several boot method options,
including PXE and TCP/IP. I was using TCP/IP. Should I try PXE?
