I hope not. This sounds like a royal pain. You 'd have to somehow figure
out which files in each update RPM were changed and then move them to the
diskless area.
I 've recently started planning the migration of our diskless machines
from 7.3 to RHEL3, and although I haven 't done this yet, I think the idea
is that all the directories with binaries that might be patched should be
shared with the server, and the only client-writable directories should be
things like /tmp and parts of /var that wouldn 't normally have patchable
things in them anyway.
Also, I think that for diskless booting, you won 't need a /boot
partition, so this part is moot. The kernels will be downloaded at boot time
rather than being accessed from the /boot partition.
