Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
RemoteBoot is a small utility to allow booting on a floppy based system from
a network device. It simply reassigns all the system paths to the remote
machine and boots from there. This means you can have a simple boot disk or
a small harddisk to boot from and it will boot every time from the network.

System Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are two versions of RemoteBoot. There is a standalone one which needs
OS2.04+ and a 1.3+ version that needs Assign in C:. Normally, i wouldn't
make a 1.3 compatible version but i wrote this mainly because i have an old
A500 with 1.3 in my network and i wanted to boot from the network.

Usage
~~~~~
Make a file in S: (the standard one) called Boot.cfg. The format of this
config is:

S=Net:Dh1/1.3Stuff/s/
L=Net:Dh1/1.3Stuff/l/
C=Net:Dh1/1.3Stuff/c/
DEVS=Net:Dh1/1.3Stuff/devs/
LIBS=Net:Dh1/1.3Stuff/libs/
T=Net:Ram/T
SYS=Net:1.3Stuff/
BOOT=execute S:startup-sequence

Note: the stuff before the = is CASE SENSITIVE. It must be in upper case.
A description of each line follows

S=      New path for S:
L=      New path for L:
C=      New path for C:
DEVS=   New path for DEVS:
LIBS=   New path for LIBS:
T=      New path for T:
SYS=    New path for SYS:
BOOT=   String to execute. It's executed AFTER the assigns are made.

It doesn't matter what order you put the lines in. All apart from BOOT must
be there otherwise the assigns won't work.

To start RemoteBoot, just type its name in a CLI or, preferably, put it in
the startup-sequence of a disk or a HD.

Pseudo Partitions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If, like me, you have a 2.04 or above comp. networked to a old 1.3 A500 then
heres a little trick. I run a customized A1200 and a customized A500.
Everything on the 1200's HD was 2.04+ untill i had an idea. Basicly, create
a drawer on your HD called 1.3Boot or sommit like that and use it just for
1.3 proggies. Make a disk icon for it but make sure you change it's type to
drawer. Now leave it out on ya WB and there you go.. another partition
without the hassle and memory loss of a real one. Oh, don't forget to assign
sommit to it as well :)) The only noticeable difference is that you don't
get the used/free space display on it but that's no big deal.

BTW.. only reason i got a A500 was so i could nick it's keyboard for my 1200
hey, i said it was customized :))
