<H1>Root over NFS - Another Approach</H1>
<H2>George Gousios, <CODE>cs98011@icsd.aegean.gr</CODE></H2>v1.0, 2001-09-12
<P><HR>
<EM>This HOWTO does not intend to replace the existing Root over NFS
Howto's. It is just another approach, particularly useful in large
system installations. It is the result of many days of trying to
setup a system for the University of the Aegean computer labs. The
installation method described here is up and running. The HOWTO is
dedicated to all of those guys who programmed these exceptionally
good OS and tools. Also dedicated to all people that encouraged me
to write it.</EM>
