  Just get the netboot.i image, and dd or rawrite it to a floppy.  That's 
pretty much it.  The install takes over from there..

  It should work.  At high user counts, the primary limitation is memory 
contraints.  I haven't had a chance to actually stress test the newer releases 
in CVS, but I'll try to do that soon to give you a better idea of the current 
code base.

  It should also be noted that by default, Linux will only accept 1024 TCP 
connections.  Adding more simo connections requires a kernel patch to increase 
this limit.
