Maybe I should edit my original ideas...

Can I take a Ubuntu installation and produce the proverbial "flying gas
can"? The idea is to have a master machine (server) with a full
install of Ubuntu and then install additional machines with nothing but
the basics. What would I need for the basics? My thoughts were that I
would need only a kernel, basic startup scripts and a nfs client. Am I
correct?

The idea then is that the additional machines would have network access
to the software installed on the master machine (server)

Should provide needed info on tftp and diskless clients.
