Has anyone measured the load a NetBoot client, that is a Cube
with a 40Mb local disk for swap/tmp, generates on the ethernet?
I would of course expect it to be less than a diskless workstation,
but how much less?

I realize that the answer to this question is very much site
dependent, but I would nevertheless be very much interested in
your findings. Please reply to me personally, I'll sum it up for
the net if there's interest.

[Not related to the above, but please enclose this information if
 you are kind enough to reply: what's the sum(1) of /sdmach for os 1.0a?]
