 I am trying to set up a PXE boot to Linux for diskless workstations.
 
  
 
 I have PXELinux up and running no problem.
 
  
 
 What I need help on is how to make a kernel and initramfs to plug into PXE
 Linux.
 
  
 
 I know how to use genkernel but what I am after here is not just how to do
 it but what to put in the RAMdisk.
 
  
 
 In other words I need to build a test machine with minimal file structure so
 that I don't have to mount the whole root from an NFS share.
 
  
 
 I only want to mount the portions with user persistent data.
 
  
 
 Any Ideas?
 
  
 
 Thanks.
 

What were you thinking when you were typing this? Some nice formatting

Why don't you just try LTSP?
