AutoClient Systems

An AutoClient system is nearly identical to a diskless client in terms of installation and administration. An AutoClient system has the following characteristics:

• Requires a minimum of a 100-Mbyte local disk for swapping and for caching its individual root (/) file system and the /usr file system from a server

• Can be set up so that it continues to access its cache when the server is unavailable

• Relies on a server to access other file systems and software applications

• Contains no permanent data, making it a field-replaceable unit (FRU)
