[K12OSN] CD burners on thin clients?

[James P. Kinney III]

In short: it won't work and it's not a good idea.

It won't work because the kernel image that is running on the clients
doesn't have all the parts needed to use a CD burner and none of the
rest of cdburner code is loaded as well (userland binaries).

Even if you did get it to load, the likelihood of making nothing but
coasters is very high as the bandwidth between client and server becomes
an issue.
