Note that if you want NFS-swapping, you can not use 2.4.17 since it requires a kernel patch that only exists for some versions (2.4.9 and 2.4.13). I have used 2.4.9 for this reason. > Also, is there good kernel compilatoin documentation out there?

Linux Terminal Server Project: www.ltps.org has some documentation on compiling kernels for etherboot. (See especially the documentation of version 3.0, it is has a chapter on the subject).
