After adding support for netbooting LessLinux by downloading the ISO image via HTTP/FTP I can announce support for NFS boot. For this feature you just need to add

        nfs=192.168.1.1:/dir/containing/iso

In this case, the NFS share is mounted read only (and no locking takes place), then all ISO files down to depth 2 are searched, loop back mounted and scanned for the proper version.txt. If the system is found, the settings for toram=value take place. In reasonable fast networks you should keep this threshold low, then the start of a program via network is quick, on networks with bad latencies you might set a low threshold to copy the entire system to RAM during startup.

You might download the ISO and the sources here:

• lesslinux-search-and-rescue-uluru-20100726-105414.iso
• lesslinux-search-and-rescue-uluru-20100726-105414-buildscripts.tar.bz2

To build yourself follow the instructions in those two articles: Build stage 01 and 02 and Build stage03.
