I'm suprised no-one has mentioned nfsroot to-date. Based on its docs,

That shouldn't be hard
Have you though tof using 1 or 2 computers as fileservers?
After a quick read of teh FHS (filesystem standard)
the setup is made to allow the shareing of large parts of the filesystem
between
computers.
Then anytime you add a program to the system (usually in /usr/bin etc

If I may, he advocated it because we used it here at Verisim to manage
our workstations and servers. Unfortunately we found although it did
work, it was rather clumsy, and didn't scale well in our enviro

On this compute farm, they want to make changes to 1 machine, as in adding

reflected on the other 199 machines, without having to go to each
