Hi again Oliver,

For the life of me, I cannot find the ubuntu document(s) I based my
installation on.
I remember using two distinct links for this, plus some other stuff
I had to hunt down to bring all this together.

I enclose below a quote from my written documentation :

----->%------->%-------->%---------->%----------->%------------>%---------
Find this :

/tftpboot/ubu1204i386_diskless/etc/fstab

Edit it, delete everything and input the following :

Proc	   /proc	proc	defaults	0	0
/dev/nfs	/	nfs	defaults	1	1
none	   /tmp	tmpfs	defaults	0	0
none   	/var/run	tmpfs	defaults	0	0
none	   /var/lock	tmpfs	defaults	0	0
none	    /var/tmp	tmpfs	defaults	0	0
----->%------->%-------->%---------->%----------->%------------>%---------

spaces are not spaces, but TABS
I took this from one of the two places. Been trying to find 
the link but can't at the moment.

Cheers,

s.
