-
- Sounds like the discusions and questions asked on this list is going out of
- topic recently. The above question should be asked and would probably get better
- responses from the LANWORKS discussion list.
-
- At any rate, to answer the above question, the answer is how would you boot your
- MAC from the Pathworks server? I don't think you can. you would still have to
- boot your MAC from the floppy. The software can reside on the server but MAC is
- not very friendly when come to file sharing and network-aware software.
