Yeah, there isnt much standardisati8on in HW at that level, ie directly touching IO ports. You will have to preinstall all the various NIC drivers on each machine. SHouldnt be too hard, just a script or simple program to run the inf files. ============================== Nothing to say.

As a matter of fact, The setting for phpmyadmin must have to be set for local only not global. which is a common mistake. But for the public site it is required so, make sure whether your entire page is SSL secure or not but phpmyadmin page must have to SSL Secure otherwise a simple monitoring on the network will reveal the password

C will be good, Delphi would be supported, VB6 would also be supported. You could also take a look at the CrossNet Compiler[^] if you "must" work in the .NET environment. Another alternative might be incorporating the Mono-runtime from a C application. The Preinstall Environment isn't meant to be used as a lightweight OS, and it'll be lacking all kind of stuff that you're grown used to in Windows. If you're looking for a small OS with .NET support, consider Knoppix with Mono. Hope this helps a bit more than the previous answer :) Bastard Programmer from Hell :suss:
