will create network bootdisk to load support for mutliple Network card adapters. What I want is the ability to create a menu, choice to map to different network shares. example of menu:
1. connect to X server
2. connect to Y server
3. connect to Z server
How can I implement a menu selection after initializing network card adapter?
Your help is appreciated.

I used this site to create my really cool ghost boot disk . . . that is still in progress. just follow the instructions and make sure choice.com is on the floppy disk too.

When you get that done I would like a howto or a copy ;) (yes I do have my own copy of ghost)

ghost disk is almost done
1st menu offers choice of CD or HD imaging
then the following menus offer backup and restore options.
the ghost drive is determined to be the last fat or fat32 partition before the ramdrive.
example of dos scipting if %ramd% == d set gdrive=c
the cdrom is setup pretty much the same way just goes one letter past the ramdrive
so when I issue the ghost command, the src and dst options are set to variables.
example: ghost -clone,mode=pload,src=%gdrive%:\bakup.gho,dst=1:1
all ghosting is completely automated with command line switches. I'll winimage it and post a link tonight if I get a chance.
