| Hi Axel,

They always have. They have pxe-cards, but they never wanted to start up from
them, so we downloaded the fitting diskettes. - This used to work, before the
server was moved ...

How do i check that?

I suppose your tips regards the thinclients?
My thinclients bios says:
1. Network
2. Diskette
3. LanDesk Service Age (What is this, anyway?)
4. CD
5. Hard disk
No matter if I used the diskette or not it wont`t use the network to start up.
Power On Source: Chipcard, Lan, Remote and Timer - everything "enabled".
It tries, and always did, to start from the network card ("Dhcp ..."), but
always fails to do soemthing more, and starts Grub instead if I don`t stop
it.
