I am debugging install of diskless machines. Both the CPU and network connection are rather slow, so I created an option to unpack the base.tgz manually on the disk server, thus speeding up the installation by about 15 minutes. This would not be usable in a large scale deployment situation, because human intervention and interaction are required. The NFSROOT problem did not hurt me in any way, I just checked if all variables are available and noticed that NFSROOT sometimes is not. Regards, Toomas
