Suppose you have a PC you want to use as an X-Terminal, and suppose it
has a local disk. Now suppose you want to use that disk to optimize the system.
The first thing to do is, to use the disk to do the initial boot (after which the kernel
is loaded over the network). The second thing to do is to use part of the
disk as a swappartition (Done!).
The next thing you MAY want to do is reduce network traffic (will it ...?) to the
X-Terminal by using a local partition as it's root. Would this reduce network traffic
(seriously)? If so, it's worthwhile investigating on how to do this. I would imagine
it to make sense to have the X-Terminal (during boot) synchronise it's local root
filesystem with the root file system available on the server. This may require
some changes in the initrd of the network kernel. First question though .. would it
be worthwhile in terms of reducted network traffic. After all, all the X-Terminal
does is run X.
Cheers, Erik
