Hello Dave, Thank you that was the trick .

I've one more question, I have an AS200 4/100 an Avanti (style)
system . I am looking to be able to boot remotely to my newly
created image , I am a -few- miles away . Milo & linload have
been installed on a FAT filesystem . I can mount it & write to
it , but I can't find -any- (I mean any) documentation on how
to remotely set var's into the systems memory for reboot.

I guess what I am looking for is something like the SunOS reboot
command 'reboot "sda1:vmlinux.gz-21115 root=/dev/sda1"'

Is anyone aware of this functionality & where to get the Documents
I've already gone to the RedHat/support/docs & the HOWTO's ....
