Hi all, I have a great debian box that I have configured to allow logins via xdmcp (?). At the moment, I'm installing debian on the clients with working X install, then changing gdm.conf to point to our "terminal server" (the debian box). It all works a treat - but requires overkill installs on the harddrives of the clients - I'm well aware this is more than is needed.
What I'd really like is this... A cd (knoppix like) that boots, configures network, configures x, then (and this is the crux) automatically does an X -query 192.168.0.250 (the ip of my wonderful terminal server). This makes a wonderfully easy and flexible cd that can be used anywhere on site to instantly turn a Windows box into a linux X client. It means no net driver worries or X config setups via ltsp (which is great if you have 50 similar machines - we don't - and floppies for ltsp are unreliable - and I don't have the time to configure genuine boot roms, etc.) Anyone know how to produce such a small modification to something that already exists? Such as Knoppix or preferebly something much smaller. *All* I need is network and X autoconfig - none of the applications that come on knoppix. Any suggestions, questions or "you're way off course here" comments welcome. Thanks -- Matt Johnson ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
