<p>Tftp as opposed to ftp is<br>
A) very simple to implement<br>
B) very slow to transfer large amounts of data.</p>
<p>I have thought about netbooting but currently I am very happy with the compact flash card booting I am currently using.</p>
<p>I have never used netbooting but I use tftp for transfer of firmware files on ip phones at work and they are (relatively) slow to transfer...</p>
<p>A netboot image assuming it is all transferred via tftp is going to be slow, and I believe many tftp server only handle a single transfer at a time... so the more clients booting the slower it gets.</p>
<p>Tftp is fairly trivial to implement though and hence often used in firmware bootloaders.</p>

been nice though to have the extra space, however small. And I<br>
wouldn't have needed to wipe out my current install (I was moving from<br>
9.04 to 10.04 in the process). Anyways, thanks for your help, you at<br>
least got me looking in some different places for the problem, even if<br>
there was no success in the end. After several hours of setup I think<br>
I've got everything moved around and set up the way I like.<br>
