Are you using 2.08 or 2.09pre3-4 ?
In 2.08, you should do the following:
edit rc.local (in /tftpboot/lts/ltsroot/etc/), For example:
SWAPPART=`get_cfg SWAPPART`
if [ "${SWAPPART}" != "" ]; then #following is the translation of above hints
insmod path/to/module/ide.o # there is a better way to have modules, this
# is documented
somewhere
if ! swappon ${SWAPPART}; then
mkswap ${SWAPPART}
swappon ${SWAPPART}
fi
fi
Then you put, in lts.conf,
[ wks_with-swap ]
SWAPPART = /dev/hda3
If you use 2.09pre3-4, make a script with the above things, and append
. /etc/ltsp_functions
as the first line of the script. Put the scipt in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/rc.d.
If this script is called "local_swap", the lts.conf becomes:
[ wks_with-swap ]
RCFILE_xx = local_swap
SWAPPART = /dev/hda3
All this si is totally untested, but it should give you the
Pat
