<br>
Root on NFS: Running Linux on a diskless computer<br>
<br>
Abstract
<br>
<br>
A motherboard, a CPU, and a memory stick. Add a fan and a power supply,
and you have a little computer which boots from network and keeps all
its data on a hosting computer's disk through NFS. The shopping list
for new components goes as low as 600 NIS, which makes this an
attractive solution in cases where a dedicated computer is useful, be
it for mission-critical applications, cases where the hardware may be
damaged or stolen, or because the OS is bound to crash often (kernel
hacking).

<p>
This lecture is a walktrough of my own recent experience of setting up
a diskless computer, using cobbler for coordinating the PXE boot. It
will involve the gory technical details as well as my own insights
after making a fullblown Linux system run without any local storage.</p>
