Youch!

Older NEC 333 MHz, 192 MB RAM PC had been 
chugging along with CentOS 4 until I ran 
up2date. After retrieving all 119 MB of 
openoffice.org-il8n-1.1.2..., PC hung 
(mouse/KB nonresponsive). Reboot yielded 
"Press <Ctrl-B> to select MBA boot method [2 
options] (Default is PXE)". 

Option 1 for boot using TriROM:
"MSD: no reply, then Rx2 Rx2 ... 
File server could not be found" 

Option 2 using Preboot Execution Environment 
(PXE):
"DHCP MAC ADDR: 00 10 4B 39 03 D0
PXE-E52: No IP address received from DHCP or 
BOOTP.
PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE.
Operating System not found"

Any suggestions, before I reinstall OS? 
Might I have been running up against a 
memory shortage on the package retrieval?

TIA,
Blake
