Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I'm looking for any experiences that people here have had with truely diskless machines: not booting over the network, but from say flash memory or even a disk that is subsequently powered off. The goal is quiet operation and low-heat generation. The machine will not be saving any "interesting" data, so total loss on power-outtage is fine. I'm not on this list, so please direct responses to me. I'll summarize is necessary.
