How are you booting DOS on the clients now? Is there a hard drive installed for it? If so, using lilo to optionally boot either DOS from the drive or Linux from your LTSP server is pretty straightforward.
If there is no HD, using lilo on a boot floppy should also be pretty easy. I'm not sure how (or from what) you want to boot DOS from in this case. I don't personally know how to use DHCP or BOOTP to bring up DOS. -emile On Thu, 20 Dec 2001, Philip A.Roa wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I need some help with this one. > > My setup: diskless clients (to run DOS & Linux) + linux server running LTS apps >(DHCP, TFTP) > > Access: a) DOS, so client machines can reach the Novell server running legacy text >based applications > b) Linux, so they can run StarOffice. > > I was able to successfully boot DOS and Linux separately but am now at a loss as to >how the boot process > can be controlled on the client side. > > Q1: Can i use LILO to issue a preliminary boot prompt so users can select which OS >to boot? > If this is possible: > Q1.1: How can I send LILO to the clients as a tagged image (is this possible?) > Q2.2: What are the LILO "append" options to get a DOS/Linux image >remotely off the LTS? > Q2: Or, is there a similar program that can accomplish the same neatly ;-) ? > > Thanks guys and regards, > > phil > > > _____________________________________________________________________ > Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
