into why all the machines have so much memory and CPU's. Basically the

approach to this seems to follow either SGI or Sun ways of doing
diskless clients. I like the Sun way of doing it (with each client
getting its own tree) versus the SGI where most is common with the
server and clients need a rebuild if server code changes.
Okay, I give. ;-)
Looks like it's a lot lest complicated than I was thinking, but I get
your point about it being a bit of pain to set up. It would be nice to
be able to do this OOB.
Anyhow, all I wrote is still something I might do if there is enough
interest. Maybe I'll look at what you need, too, and since they are
somewhat related. (sorta, kinda, maybe...)
