I'm doing it a lot right now, but that's just because I have some new stuff,
and it's the first time I've had Acronis, so I'm playing too -- but it's not
like I expect to be doing this all that often once everything is up.

I had, wrongly, thought it would be simple to get the network boot
running -- and it seems like a pretty cool addition -- but it sounds like
this one might be a project for another time... ;)

And, if there is a reasonably simple way to do it, I'm all ears... -Scott
