Can anyone comment on how you configure a network of MAC IIs running
A/UX using the model of a large central NFS server and no or low disked
clients?

In particular can you run them like Sun 3/50s with no hard disk at
all?

My guess, based on no information at all is that the answer is no.  I
would guess that you could put a minimal private root partition and
swap area on a 20 meg local hard disk, and get everything else via NFS
from a vanilla NFS server. I would also guess that Apple would look to
pick up Sun NFS 4.0 to allow real diskless operation at a later date.

Other guesses or some real information from the Apple people would be
appreciated.
