I've got as far as basic install of stable, then after reboot move /var
to be NFS-mounted over the network, which seems like a good
compromise. Speed of network access might be better than the local HD -
which does start to make network boot look like a more viable option...

Now to see what else I can squeeze on there 

cheers, Rich.
