No i did not. <br>But i see in the bios it can boot from usb/cdrom. And
today I got a 5'1/4 ide/usb case and a cdrom player. I will try with
that. It should works right? It seems to me the easiest way to install
any distribution i want. I keep u informed, thanks again for ur help.<br><hr><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 255); padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 0px;"><hr><b>From:</b> Tomasz Chmielewski [mailto:<a href="mailto:mangoo@wpkg.org">mangoo@wpkg.org</a>]<br><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:elmer@leet.la">elmer@leet.la</a>, <a href="mailto:debian-non-standard@lists.wpkg.org">debian-non-standard@lists.wpkg.org</a><br><b>Sent:</b> Sun, 10 Aug 2008 20:49:28 +0200<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [debian-non-standard] Debian on Thecus5200: how to read ide 44-pin<br><br><a href="mailto:elmer@leet.la">elmer@leet.la</a> schrieb:<br>

Did you confirm with a packet sniffer (i.e. tcpdump) that it sends any <br>
packets?<br>
<br>
Did you try both network interfaces on your n5200?<br>
