You could NFS mount the sources to the box that has the full hard drive.

Also in your other message, you mentioned not liking xdm. There is a
package available for Linux to dress up the appearence of the xdm screen.
The package is called Xbanner and the home page for it is located at:

http://chaos.fullerton.edu/XBanner/

There is also a mention of xdm-3d there that most likely uses the Xaw-3D
widget set that improves the look of X applications based on the Athena
widget set. For more info on that see http://www.zip.com.au/~bb/XawXpm/
