I wasn't aware that there was such a thing as a "traditional NFS-mounted boot-floppies root image". In any event, such a thing would be limited to the feature set that boot-floppies support, right? PGI, as can be seen from the rest of the feature list, takes a different approach. One real world application of the NFS-based live filesystem that we found useful was speeding the debugging cycle. We didn't have to wait for a CD burn if what we were testing didn't affect the kernel or initrd. Or maybe I'm not understanding what you're asking me to elaborate upon? -- G.
