great idea!!! I hadn't even thought about that. I've been back in the
windows world too long. I will give this a try and report back...but
it sounds sensible.
then only problem I see is that since these boards are pretty
proprietary, they require some special modules, etc. to get everything
working. However I guess I can just pre-install the asrock kernel on
the servers hard drive then drop it in and delete the old kernels.
What do you all think about that?
