I'm willing to provide swap on NFS for our bootdisk kernel (at least in sparc32 arch) to allow installation on low memory diskless workstations (8MB or less).
I did some trial with my current bootdisks and it appears that 16MB (maybe 12MB but I don't have the needed SIMM modules to create such configuration) is the minimum required to install Debian on a diskless workstation. I found a patch for 2.0.35 kernel on the net but none for 2.2 :-(( Is there such patch available somewhere ? The only thing I found for 2.2 is a patch for swapping over a network block device (http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/nbd/nbd.html). Did you have any experience with it ? Especially how to set it up. Thanks in advance. -- Eric Delaunay | "La guerre justifie l'existence des militaires. [EMAIL PROTECTED] | En les supprimant." Henri Jeanson (1900-1970)
