I fully agree here.
Once I built new kernels on my root on nfs enabled clients as well.
Without any problem.

Heh, dont you want to have DISKLESS clients? ;)
But seriously..
Do you mean floppy disk? Since Suns are capable to boot off from
network, the floppy disk solution isnt very charming..
Of course, you must have running an arp server (where the clients get its
ip adresses from once linux starts up) and a tftp server. (From there the
clients get the a.out boot image from).
