Folding@Home Diskless Farm
http://www.hardfolding.com/index.php?go=37
This document details how to setup a diskless Folding @ Home server. The procedure was gleaned from two diskless farm documents, which are referenced below and should be read to understand the process better.
I have attempted to automate this setup using RedHat Linux 9 for the HardFolding community. The network topology is assumed with a cable/dsl router such as a LinkSys running on the default port of "192.168.1.1". It also assumes you have a more modern motherboard with built-in everything and the LAN supports PXE 2.0. In other words this is what I did to make it work, as the reference documents are more generic.

this one is requires harddisk i think

Distributed Computing - Folding@Home 5.02, Boinc, and Prime95. Overclockix features a system of shell scripts to make using these DC clients simple and automated. In addition to Distributed Computing, there are other applications such as Memtest and cpuburn for testing hardware to prove stability. This is great for those who '"OVERCLOCK" their computers, hence the name of the distro. These applications enhance the distro's usefullness for system builders and hardware enthusiasts, making it a more versatile utility disk. Distributed Computing contributes to scientific research without impacting your computer's performance by using idle cpu time and the internet to create a worldwide distributed supercomputer to crunch complex data. Principle apps- folding@home, boinc, memtest, mprime, rovclock, nvclock-qt, hwtools, bonnie++.
