Has anyone tried to make their RISC-6000 a "dataless workstation" ie. have
a local root and swap filesystem, but mount /usr over the net?  It's very
tempting, since the savings can be significant, but there's some things on
/usr that aren't sharable (for example, the database of LPPs), so this would
not seem possible in this release.  How about it Austin?
