Hi,
I have been working with suse 7.3 since November.
1.Default install with star office for server ( keep it simple stu*id,
KISS)
2. go back and install dhcp.rpm, nfsserver.rpm, tftp.rpm from n2 on dvd cd
ftp.
3. Before install of LTSP 3, edit /etc/SuSE-release to show version 7.0
4. Tar xvfz LTSP tgz files. I had trouble with the rpms. Perhaps before
figuring out other issues?
5. run scripts using install.sh and ltsp_initialize in the directories that
were created.
6. Scripts are not copying everthing they should be so you have to go through
and manually copy several files into their respective directories.
7. As I recall the suse install did not create a dhcpd.conf so take the one
from /opt/ltsp/templates and copy it to /etc
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
filename "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.9-ltsp-lpp-5";
8. edit /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf
**** For modules I had to give the exact location of module to get this to
work *****
MODULE_01=/lib/modules/char/agp/agpgart.o
9. edit rc.config to start nfs server and dhcpd
10. edit /etc/inetd.conf to start tftpd. comment out 'finger' and telnet'.
11. I am sure I am missing a couple steps but basically I remember that the
big thing was that I had to run
/etc/init.d/dhcpd start
/etc/init.d/nfsserver start
maybe even
/usr/sbin/in.tftpd in.tftpd -s /tftpboot
even though rc.config was set up and even after running SuSEconfig. Also
with the default install of LTSP you should use kdm at first just to test the
configuration. Run yast and change the login confiuration on the server.
During the troubleshooting phase you are going to have to edit the dhcpd.conf
and then restart the dhcp server with every change made to that file. ( I
must have done this 20 times)
- for the intel 810i I had to bump my machines up to 64 mg RAM ( which
luckily I had sitting around) something about agp on xf86 v. 4 .
-still cannot get an ISA card to work. ne2000 even though I spent literally
hours farting around with dhcp-options man dhcp-options
option option-128 code 128 = string ;
option option-129 code 129 = text ;
option option-128 e4:45:74:68:00:00;
option option-129 "NIC=ne IO=0x300";
LTSP is a labor of love sometimes but once it is working it is just so sweet.
