I've converted to using a slightly modified SLS network load for
Linux. You only need to write a single disk, and the same disk
remains useful as emergency boot disk. With this method the SIPB
would only need to provide a public NFS mountable distribution, a
low-volume floppy writing machine, IP addresses (?), and a vendor
for $70 ethercards.
Sounds cool; we might look into the NFS distribution (we've got it in
AFS now), but the other stuff almost certainly won't be done by us.
Almost all public Athena workstations can make the floppies now, we
aren't and won't be in the IP address business, or the hardware
business - those are handled by other parts of IS, and we don't really
want to do it anyway...
Did you make the mods yourself, or are you getting them from
somewhere?
Thanks,
Chad
