You can boot from bootp without much difficulty. (just minor annoyance
factor) If you can get it with the flash, that'll make your life much
simpler!

I've been thinking about getting one, but wasn't sure how tough it would
be to set up. Any tips? Do I need the flash, or is it easy to boot it
off tftp? Looks like a unit without flash is much cheaper, so I'd like
to try it that way.
Thanks,
Eric
