Since this thread died, I thought I'd better revive it, since I am  
still left wondering. My NICs are programmed with binary ROM images  
and fail to boot the clients (they work fine with K12LTSP, so I know  
it's not the NICs or the ROMs that are faulty). Are you saying that  
Edubuntu ONLY works with PXE ROMs?
