| Re: How can I get the install CD or install files freely? I have a question concerning the Restore CD.
How is one supposed to restore a TC1100? Will an external USB CD-ROM drive
do the trick? Or can you use PXE in one way or another combined with RIS?
I tried with a N4000 with port duplicator and DVD player without success. So
this kinda made me wonder.
If anyone knows, PLEASE let me know ;-)
