prof.sriram had told me that he wud be able to give
a step by step
description as to how it is done... first lemme tell
what i have
1. 10 boxes of p-I with mercury boards
2. 16mb ram on each box
3. Display card
4. network cards and Boot Ram
5. all interfacing cables
none of the machines have a floppy drive, and my
pocket 's sloppy for
so many floppy drives!
and all i want to do is
1. to be able to remote login these machines to any
one of the hosts
on my network
2. to be able to run atleast a window manager which
doesn't require
much resources (obviously)...
so people, guidelines and pointers are kindly
requested...

thank you, once again
warm regards
