  I've thought about doing this sort of thing in the past.  My idea was to
write a program that would take the appropriate files off an existing server
system and package them up for the NFS client.  The aim of is that you will
install various versions of the different base packages on your server and
upgrade/patch them until they work.  Then you essentially duplicate this to
your NFS-root systems.
