I can upload and download to the server but the imaging is really slow.
I think this is related to the speed/duplex setting on out network. All our ports are 10 or 100 Full Duplex. I think the driver in the distribution auto-negotiates to 10 or 100 Half Duplex.
I have tried unloading the driver and reloading it with the following command line (Got help from a workmate).
ifconfig eth0 unload
rmmod e100
insmod e100.o e100_speed_duplex=4 (Sets the intel Driver to 100MBits full duplex)
ifconfig eth0 10.6.85.6 (PC is in a VLAN)
ifconfig eth0 broadcast 10.6.255.255
if config eth0 up
This loads ok but I lose my network connection, and can't ping any systems.
Is there a way to modify the boot cd ( a config file ?) so that the e100.o driver is loaded with the command line above or we can configure for 10/100 MBits full duplex?
I have downloaded WinISO and I am using this to setup the boot CDs.I only have a very little Linux experience.
A:
Study the Imaging section of the documentation. This section on Booting to Linux might also help.
