Is it possible to boot Linux over a network? I'd like to know
if I can use my PC as a diskless workstation, or as a simple
X-terminal, just using nfs.

This way, I don't have to use many Megs of harddisk space on
every PC and as the versions change quickly, updating will
remain simple. I might have to use a small partition for the
libs & swap, as nfs doesn't have bmap support, I'm aware of that.

Thanks in advance,
