Watch out for messages about this setup: There were several people having this problem. You don't want/are not allowed to touch that DHCP server, right :-/ So, use the Etherboot Require-VCI- option or what it was called. Scroll back the archives. Then it will only listen to answers from a specially "authorized" Linux-DHCP-Server. That- in the turn back- can be configured to only answer to requests from LTSP boxes.... Make sure it uses another address range than the NT-Server. >So I was wondering=20 >if anyone had put all of the x-terminal >system (kernel, root filesystem, etc) >onto a bootable cdrom.

You could modify the ltsp client software so that it completely runs from a local hard disk partition (step 1). Then make a El Torito conform CD image from it - no idea how to do this, but if you find out how, let me know :-) However, I don't see its necessarity. >Any help would be greatly appreciated.
