A PCRE internal error occured. This might be caused by a faulty plugin

===== Timeout Values in EtherBoot ===== ==== Motivation ==== Currently EtherBoot seems to be quite generous when it comes to network timeouts. The standard values in ''src/Config'' (as well as [[http://www.rom-o-matic.net/|Rom-o-matic]]) will allow for delays of up to several minutes waiting for TFTP server responses. This is probably not desirable, since it appears to the user that EtherBoot has simply frozen. ==== Documentation ==== Several //Requests for Comments//, especially [[http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2131.txt|RFC 2131]] and [[http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1112.txt|RFC 1112]] are mentioned in the EtherBoot source as relating to timeout intervals. The PXE specification will also have to be read in this respect, despite its known flaws and status of a recommendation rather than a standard. ==== Implementation ==== Before changing EtherBoot default values a discussion on the mailing list would be most welcome.
