Current status the diskless mode "ltsp-make-client" script
finish. The resulting clients freeze on boot that is they ignore
the keyboard/mouse and the screen is blank. If I press f1 early
enough in the boot I can see some of the boot messages. The last
message is NFS-common start but it never returns.
I think the "big guns" are working on getting diskless into shape for
Lenny, so maybe you have to use them as thin clients for now?
Yes but I have 25 workstations performance deteriorates rapidly with
some of the larger classes. Depending on what they are doing.
So I decide to put in a couple hard drives in some units to see if
I can do a work station install. These boot up okay but I can only
login in as root. I think I have to set up the ldap
authentication. Is there any document that will provide me the
necessary information. Include the skolelinux specific ldap
information. Usually I would need base which I think is
dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no
Have you entered the machines in lwat / dhcp? There shouldn't be any
ldap tinkering necessary.
Yes on the machine I tested today. Though the machine does not always
pick up the ip address I assigned in lwat. At least today's test did not
hang but gave me the same message as if I had the password wrong.
I'll try an install tomorrow again.
cheers
