Will. know something here in a few hours. If the Clients want boot then
I will try the patches as I *have* to have this to work on v5. Only
other option is Cobbler,which is prolly going to replace net-boot. It is
source only. I would however like to know if it will make it to the cent
fast track repo. 

The only part of this that would be a pain is adding the patches as all
the other is the same as v4.
