- Fix fetch (and unbreak) port by using the submitter's distfile mirror.
- The author no longer wishes to maintain the port, and has recommended that it be scheduled for termination. It deserves plenty of time since it is now fetchable and seems useful. PR: ports/104503 Submitted by: Frank J. Laszlo <laszlof@vonostingroup.com> Approved by: portmgr (marcus), Martin Butkus <m.butkus@tu-bs.de> (maintainer)

More specifically, it allows you to set up several PCs so that they fetch
their operating system from a central UNIX server on boot time.

By having all the clients use the same boot image, and by storing
differences in the clients' configuration in separate files, RBoot allows
the sysadmin to reduce his/her administration efforts from factor N to

RBoot requires a UNIX server that is capable of exporting a directory via
NFS, and that has a bootpd server (for BOOTP). Any recent UNIX should meet
