I was just trying this out on FC4 and system-config-netboot didn't
work out all that well for me. It wasn't NFSRooting properly. After
a bit of googling I saw other people were having similar problems.
The maintainer of that util was working on it, but even after
upgrading to his newest package

Great! This is pretty much what I was looking for. I agree that it
might be difficult to upgrade stuff
Interestingly, when I was trying to run myth frontend on haupagge MVP,
I didn't disable DHCP on the router. So, I had DHCP enabled in my
server and in the router (dlink 614+).
For whatever reason, the myth backend server was always responding to
the MVP's dhcp request !

No need to ditch your router. You just have to turn off dhcp on the
router and run dhcpd on your server. I think system-config-netboot
sets everything up except for the dhcpd.conf entry, which should look
something like:
host media {
hardware ethernet aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff;
with networking and don't feel like
learning.

Fedora Core 3 includes a GUI utility called system-config-netboot that
simplifies creating diskless clients. The basic procedure is:
1) Install Fedora on a temporary hard disk on your (soon to be)
diskless client.
2) Copy the installation into an NFS mountable directory on your server.
3) Fire
