I think having NFS and and TFTP services on the live CD (since BootP was
being included too) would be very useful for our customers who get
machines with out DVD drives. This would allow them to setup a
JumpStart server relatively easily. Unfortunately DHCP is
large, so they would probably have to provide that on their own, but TFTP
is pretty small and necessary:
---- TFTP ----
32K SUNWtftp.tbz
8K SUNWtftpr.tbz
---- DHCP ----
8K SUNWdhcsr.tbz2
392K SUNWdhcsu.tbz2
Thank you
