Yeap, I had realised you are runing Linux :-)

I have one Linux box in the house... TiVo :)

RPL (Remote Program Load) was a network process used to boot diskless
machines from a server,

I might still be tempted to look at running the machine this way, or as
you
mentioned using a compact flash, again I am only interested in using a
minimal install locally and filesharing all data.

Thanks for the feedback, its changed my thinking on a couple of projects
I
had in mind :-)
