Re: Booting decision based on time?

[Titus Winters]

Since you are already setting up a tftp server, try the following:

Automatically (after some timeout) retrieve a menu.lst file from the
TFTP server.  That file can be setup on a cron-job to change based on the
time, and thus decide whether or not the machine goes into linux or 
windows.  Slightly kludgy, but could probably be made to work.
