Hi everybody (after more than half a year..) I want some diskless workstations to boot from my Linux box. I followed the steps described in miniHOWTO (although I can't understand the idea of having two catalogues: /export/root and /export/linux as described there) and reached the point when I have to install some parts of the system dedicated for diskless clients (and of course the kernel).
No idea how to: 1. Figure out what packages do I need to install 2. Install them 3. Keep track of what packages are installed (e.g. to automatically upgrade with apt-get) Later I want to have two kinds of stations: slow ones acting as X-treminals and faster ones working on their own (and executing some tasks as a distributed-parallel system :-), but for now I'm looking for the simplest way to make it running. Thanks in advance. Blazej
