Correct, they add nothing to the above.
If their like the boot proms I used a few years back, they give you the
option to boot from a Novell server, or from the hard disk. If you have a
Novell server on line you could boot from it to DOS.
They were nice for diskless workstations and DOS programs, but in a GUI world
I feel there would be to much bandwidth for anything but a very small network
or at least a 100meg network.
