[time-nuts] My latest Net4501 NTP Server

[Robert Darlington]

Did you copy it? or did you burn the image using ghost?  Sorry for the
question, I just don't want to assume it's on there correctly.  The card
format doesn't matter at all if you're using ghost to apply the image since
it will just extend whatever filesystem is in the image to the rest of the
card.
