I have, with the help of MANY people, gotten a fully diskless
system up and running.

Server is a Pentium 75 with 16 Meg ram.
Diskless is a 386DX-40 with 8 Meg ram.


I will post a complete 'ls -lr' of all the files that are on the
diskless machines 'NFS mounted drives' as well as the contents of
all pertinent files in a few weeks, I am still removing what I
think are 'not required files'.

Keep in mind that the goal of this exercise was to build a diskless
X terminal.

It runs the kernel, required daemons and X. All apps are run on the server.
This frees up a lot of memory on the server because 'X' is not requied to run.
It runs on the diskless X terminal.
