I have a working diskless frontend. You can find pointers for diskless boot in general and for the Via EPIA M series motherboards in particular at <http://www.viaarena.com/Default.aspx?PageID=5&ArticleID=52>. Originally, I booted the MiniMyth image from <www.linpvr.org>. However, since I wanted to upgrade some of the software, I decided to roll my own build system based on GAR <http://home.san.rr.com/benderfamily/software/gar-minimyth/>. Like MiniMyth, my build system is targeted for the Via EPIA M series motherboards, because I am using the Via EPIA ME6000 for my front ends.
