No, because we have no nfs server in muLinux. In the CD-ROM
there only the directory boot/. If you can pkzip and transport it
on the destination c:\boot, no problem. The system run from C:>
as it run from CDROM:>

You can do the trasfer using the simple "nc" network client:

# source machine

                # tar -cf- boot/ | nc -l -p 5555

# destination machine

                # nc source-host 5555 | tar -xf-

Why to use NFS? Using tar+nc we can trasfer the whole universe
along a ethernet line.
