Hi Gonzalo-

Thanks for the detailed instructions.  I just want to clarify one thing before 
I leap into 
using ts10 or ts9.  The script you sent looks like something one would run 
under RedBoot.  
Is that correct?  Will RedBoot execute scripts?  

I've done this a few times to boot into my SD card which came from TS with the 
Debian 
installation on it.  I don't have an http server handy, but I have done this 
successfully from 
a tftp server.  So provided I get the correct files onto my tftp server, I can 
alter the script 
you sent to work for my situation.  Unfortunately, I don't have a linux box 
nearby, but a 
tftp server and hyperterm on an XP laptop should work similiarly.  

Thanks again for your detailed reply.
