Really nice in a clustered environment for boxes that don't support pxe. http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200211/monolithic-kernel.html I was wondering if someone can commit the patch that is included in this article so that this feature can be available 5.0 and on. I am working on a single port/package that will install and configure a "jumpstart" type of host with all necessary software so that any other hosts can be build quickly and on the fly using pxeboot, etherboot, and cd-images.
