  17 <p>Feel free to send me your comments about these programs or some additions.</p>

  19 <p>Also have a look at the <a
  20 href="http://www.ltsp.org/contrib/diskless-windows-howto.htm">&quot;Diskless Windows
  21 Cookbook &quot;</a> in the <a href="http://www.ltsp.org/contrib/">LTSP Contrib Area</a>.</p>

  23 <p><small>From this list I have only used the W2K-TFTP once for a customer with the <a
  24 href="http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/nic/mba.htm">3Com MBA Utility Disk</a>, while
  25 it can be used as well with <a href="http://etherboot.sourceforge.net">Etherboot</a>
  26 tagged images for other NIC brands.</small><br>
  27 <small>The solution used a netbooted DOS with MS Client 3.0 to easily restore disk images
  28 with <a href="http://www.ghost.com/">Symantec Ghost</a> (see <a
  29 href="http://appdeploy.com/tools/imaging.shtml">appdeploy.com</a> for similar tools).</small><br>
  30 <small>Sure there are several possibilities to do this with Linux but for cloning NT4/W2K
  31 the NTFS support is rather experimental and automatically changing the SID is another
  32 issue.</small></p>

  34 <h4>TFTP Servers:</h4>
  35
  36 <p>In Autumn 2000 i tested some different TFTP servers and found out that most of them do
  37 not install/run as a service, especially under W2K.

  39 <ul>
  40   <li>TFTP server included with Windows 2000 (remote installation services need to be
  41     installed)<br>
