Hi All

Was just wondering if anyone has successfully made a boot floppy for
Novell ZenWorks.

I know it can be done, but with the PXE Disk Maker in ZenWorks, you
have to choose a NIC Driver, none of which work on my PowerBook G4
running VPC 7.

Does anyone know how to make the boot floppy for this? or perhaps have
a boot floppy already made?

TIA

VPC emulates all the hardware, so the NIC on your Powerbook is
irrelevant. You need the Intel 21140 Driver. Link is listed on my
website.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. Greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the insight about the Intel Driver.

However, should I attempt to use the PXE Floppy Builder in Novell to
make myself a PXE Floppy, hoping that the Intel Driver is present in
the list of drivers in the PXE Floppy Builder application? (I am not at
work today to open the PXE Floppy Builder to check, will look tomorrow)

Or is there some way to make my own PXE Floppy using the download of
the Intel driver?

Thanks In Advanced,
amcvinnie

I have no experience with said product, but other programs I've used
allow you to specify your own driver and location of the driver, if
they don't offer it.
