it would be too presumptios of me to try and clean up, specialy since im
runing -stable, but since im planing on running many 'dataless' workstations
i've been fiddling around with several ideas.
1- i want more than one root-file server.
2- i want the management of the ws to be as centralized as possible
3- not all ws are the same.
so, im willing to spend time/resources.
i've modified (slightly) libstand/bootp.c but haven't received any feedback,
(maybe because there isn't any documentation? :-)
btw, whatever happend to the big rc change (ala sys5/linux)?
