[cobalt-users] Installing a Different OS on a RaQ 4i - Then Restoring Cobalt OS

["Schachter, Abe" <ans@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello group,

I have a spare RaQ 4i that is currently unused and is being considered for a
temporary application primarily because of its sexy 1U form factor.  The
temporary application would require blowing away the Cobalt OS and loading
RedHat 7.x.  That leaves me with three questions:

1. Is there a way to get the RaQ 4i to boot from a CD ROM drive or do a
network install of RedHat?
2. At the conclusion of the test is there a way to restore the Cobalt OS to
the RaQ 4i?
3. Is it more trouble than it is worth and should I locate a conventional PC
for the test?

Thanks,
Abe Schachter
