Re: Remote booting...

["Gaurav Bhatnagar" <vijayb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion about Xdenu. The non floppy verison i could find
gets installed on the dos partition. However this cant be used on NT as NT
doesnt allow direct disk access to any program . Hence I couldnt make Xdenu
work . Is there a workaround to it?
Thanks in advance
Gaurav
