Has anyone tried using a compactflash card for a drive? They make
IDE->Compactflash converters. This wouldn't exactly be "diskless", but
it would be "hard drive-less".

One idea if PXE doesn't work, or you don't have PXE, and you still
want a silent machine, would be to boot from flash (or even floppy). I
have a CompactFlash to IDE adapter, that can be used to load a kernel,
and the rest could be loaded from network. If the motherboard supports
booting from a USB drive, this would do the same thing. You could even
load the kernel from a floppy, although when I used to do this the
same floppy sitting in the same drive for months on end would need to
be replaced once or twice a year. Not exactly diskless in that case,
but other than 30 seconds at boot, there is no drive noise.
Or, throw in a DVD drive and boot from CD/DVD, and you can play DVD's
with the frontend, also.
