Do we still want to support very old hardware, especially low memory system (eg. some old sparc, and maybe old 386, 486 as well) ? In this case, we need to add a "swap on NFS" patch to the kernel. I found one patch for 2.0.35 (sparc) kernel. And for 2.2, NBD could be used along with a patch to the networking subsystem (http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/nbd/nbd.html). I will try to build bootdisks for sparc based on them. > * update documentation (too early to do this) -- Eric Delaunay | "La guerre justifie l'existence des militaires.
