I have been having a fantastic time with Cobbler from the EPEL
repository, network kickstarts, and Red Hat 5. However, I am
completely unable to install the Read-Only Root file system
because the version of Anaconda for RHEL 5 appears to be broken
with respect to performing this type of install. I have tried to
follow the FC7 HOWTO as closely as possible and I have run into
problems that I can not easily resolve. Reference my email to
this list on December 13, 2007.

I know that rhel 5 has some infrastructure to support stateless linux.
In a nutshell, we can modify /etc/sysconfig/readonly-root and /etc/rwtab
to specify what should be mounted with a tmpfs partition. mkinitrd can
be used to create an initrd that can mount an NFS export and switchroot
into it. The difficulties users may have setting it up consists of
configuring the server, and installing the OS into a directory so that
it can be exported.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StatelessLinux/HOWTO?highlight=%28stateles
s%29 written mostly by Jeffery Law from Red Hat contains quite a bit of
useful information on how to set things up. Personally, I opted to skip
the cobbler and puppet, and configured the server manually. Jeffrey Law
is probably the best person to ask to find the status of Fedora
Stateless.

Good question, Shawn.
I would like to know that too.

What's the current state of $subject?
In going through the mailing list archives I've
noticed a few unanswered
postings, and the Wiki states "...concentrating on
for FC7 is the basic
infrastructure," which gives me the impression it
hasn't been updated in
awhile.
So -- what is the status of the project? Has it
been dropped?
