Do not get confused with NIM on Linux ( NIMOL ) because the above is to
support boot and installation from AIX where NIMOL is for Installing
AIX from Linux.

Even the book mentioned NIM, the installation for Linux is pretty hand
made. I have found that the SMITTY NIM menu on AIX 5.3 has a option for
Linux NIM client installation but i did not made any test with it.
With the book it took me just a few days to setup an enviroment for
SLES 10/9 SLP9.3 with and without automatic install. ( OK, i was
already familiar with autojast )
