I have a large desktop running F7 , the 64 bit version. I also have a
few bits and pieces of 32 bit hardware lying around, that I could make

and the kernel docs, and I think I can figure out how to set up the
client machine as a diskless X-terminal, but I am perplexed by one thing.
What is the best way to set up the root file system? I want to set up a
series of subdirectories on my main machine with the root file system,
/bin, /lib, /etc, etc. I would like that to be 32 bit F7. I would then
export those directories by NFS for the diskless client to use. Is there
a way to unpack the F7 rpms into these subdirectories? I don't want to
set up an entire partition for this, and go through the entire
partitioning and install procedure. I just want to use a portion of the
existing disk.
Is there an easy way to do this? I have a vague memory that you could do
this with slackware (this was back in the mid 90's - all my memories of
that time are vague), is there a way to do this with Fedora?

Not quite what I had in mind.
I was looking for a way to install Fedora on the File server.
Thanks anyway.
