Some basic notes on what you need to do to the kernel
you build. 

Build the approriate network driver into the kernel

	Whatever network driver you need, build it
	into the kernel.

	It is possible with pxe to actually use a module
	off a ramdisk, but for quick starts, its easier
	just to compile it in.

Other things to keep aware of:

	Console Drivers->support for frame buffer devices
	Console Drivers->Vesa VGA console

	(both of these need to be enabled for the fbcon
	console driver and FBDev Xserver to work.)



	Networking Options->kernel level Autoconfiguration
		bootp
		rarp

	( this option needs to be enabled for root-on-nfs to
	function properly). I turn on both rarp and bootp.

	
	Filesystems->Network File Systems->NFS FileSystem Support
		Root file system on NFS

	(both of these options need to be compiled in [not modules...]
	for root on NFS to function properly)


	I also compiled in the serial drivers, but this is 
	fairly typical and is the default configuration for
	redhat linux 6.1

In generall, I removed everything that wasnt bolted down and
we didnt need (sound, ISDN, amateur radio, cdrom drives, scsi,
irda, etc).
