Re: [cobalt-developers] Cobalt OS & VMware Howto?

[Derek Belrose <derek_belrose@xxxxxxxx>]

The only real way of doing this would be to get a bootp capable network card
and do an OS Restore.  I've heard stories of this being done, but highly
unstable.  I've seen raq uptimes of months, but the "white box" that was built
was up for only days.

The problem I see is with the kernel more than anything.  If you were to spin
your own kernel, it might work.
