+*nfsroot* is a package designed to help make Linux root file system
+images network-bootable and sharable by many clients.  It was designed
+for the CHAOS Linux distribution (now renamed to TOSS) for clusters,
+developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, but will work with
+other Red Hat Enterprise Linux derived distros.
+
+*nfsroot* distinguishes itself from other tools for managing diskless
+clusters by restricting itself to things that can be done by a package
+installed within the root image, e.g.:
+
+* management of initramfs images in /boot (leveraging dracut) and
+pxelinux boot options
+* making a shared, read-only root file system usable using selectable
+methods (unionfs, aufs, bind-mounts, etc)
+* hook for saving kdump vmcore images to NFS
+* hook for configuration management before init starts 
+
+The goal is that one can install the *nfsroot* RPM into a root image
+and presto, it becomes bootable and sharable given appropriate server
+configuration.
+
+*nfsroot* leaves the root server configuration and configuration management
+within the image to your superior mental prowess.  This minimalist design
+is intended for sites (like ours) that already have procedures and
+techniques in place for managing these subsystems and don't want a
+diskless solution to help.
