Now, if my memory doesn't fail me, there are some people who do NFS
installs on a sizable number of machines (emphasis on size) who have
previously manifested the intention to kill anyone who makes them
boot two disks instead of one.

If we had to choose, I'd say try to keep it one disk as far as
network installations are concerned.

Other people may be able to boot from cd most of the time. Hey,
maybe we can even get some .ko's from the cd... :-)
