Once upon a time Terry Angel shaped the electrons to say...
>On the Livingston website, the latest Netboot image for Portmaster 2 is
>for ComOs 3.5

This doesn't matter.

Netboot images are only used to rescue a munged unit. You would them
need to immediately reload a REAL ComOS anyway.

I've netbooted units with a ComOS several revs older than what it was
running just fine.

>Why does Livingston offer a ComOs 3.7 without a Netboot image?

Because the netboot image revision isn't a big deal.

>(Actually, on the website they are inconsistent. They specifically tell
>you that ComOs 3.7 is NOT available for Portmaster 2 yet, but it is
>indeed an option to download in the the drop-down box, it's just not

Sounds like someone just changed '3.5.1b20' to '3.7' and forgot things
like that. I've cc'd spider on this....
