- This has actually been talked about ALOT (both in this notes group and some
- HP internal notes groups). The series 800 machines will not support diskless
- in 9.0! If you need a diskless server that is running 9.0 you must use
- a series [347]00.
-
- No decision has been made yet if or when diskless will return to the s800.
- There is a great deal of thought and effort being put into (as we speak :-))
- this so don't give up hope.
