I chosed to use ltsp209 (RH71) to boot my ws (celeron 800MHz/RAM 129Mb) but i run **everything** locally: kdm , kde then everything. For this i recompiled a 2.4.9 kernel without swap over nfs but with ide support and replace by this new stuff the standard ltsp kernel (see the ltsp_initrd package). Then i created 2 partitions on the local ws HD: 256Mb for swap and 512Mo for tmp (i don't use the /tmp via ramdisk). I populated the /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/X11 with some stuff from a RH71 distro and i dynamically build a kdmrc file taking into account NIS users and a local generic account built at boot time on each ws I have strongly modified the etc/rc.local script to run all this stuff and some links in etc/ : - formatting local swap and /tmp at each boot - running ypbind - mounting /bin /sbin /lib , /usr and /home from the server via NFS - then at the end running kdm in runlevel 5 When users connect, they get a full KDE desktop running locally. My private class-C net is 100Mbps with 2 unswitched hubs each with 6 ws, I guess that in some circumstancies NFS can by slow... this system is quite new I can't tell you more, i have to check it with all ws running simultaneously Unfortunately, my system is not connected to the internet yet (waiting for a fixed IP address from the net-admin at university), so I can't send you my rc.local script, my dhcpd.conf, lts.conf nor a tree-snapshot of my /opt/ltsp/i386/etc dir. i'll do it as soon as possible. this solution is clearly not in the pure spirit of ltsp but I have powerfull workstations and a not-so-powerfull server !! so why not using fully the ws cpu, keeping the powerfull administrative tool from ltsp... hope this will give you some hints frc -- François Mauger Laboratoire de Physique Corpusculaire de Caen et Université de Caen ISMRA - 6, Boulevard du Marechal Juin, 14050 CAEN Cedex, FRANCE e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- fax: (0/33) 2 31 45 25 12 web-page: http://www.physique-eea.unicaen.fr/~fmauger/ _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
