- Beware of certain models of 3COM cards - not all
models of 3COM cards are supported by the installation Linux
kernel that is shipped with OSCAR. See the OSCAR web site for
more information.

- ... supported.2
- Preliminary indications are that Itanium 2
support is possible, even if it is not formally supported. The
main issues for OSCAR are that at the time of this writing,
Itanium 2 hardware post-dates the available binary versions of
operating systems, and SIS does not properly pick up modules for
the netbooted kernel. The solution is for the user to compile
their own kernel. This is essentially a ``do it yourself'' kind
of process, and not recomended for novices. Please consult the
OSCAR user's mailing list for more information.

- ... address4
- There are three private IP
address ranges: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255; 172.16.0.0 to
172.32.255.255; and 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255. Additional
information on private intranets is available in RFC 1918. You
should not use the IP addresses 10.0.0.0 or 172.16.0.0 or
192.168.0.0 for the server. If you use one of these addresses,
the network installs of the client nodes will fail.
