I'm not using PXE for all of my diskless workstations. They all boot through a floppy disk Etherboot images. > Another approach would be to modify /opt/ltsp[4]/i386/etc/rc.local > to 'remount' the root partition via NFS with the new options: > mount -oremount,rsize=x,wsize=x / > but I never tested this.

Actually, I just read the wiki about [1]NFS problem and it tells to modify the /linuxrc script. Is there other way to do this? Or, how can I directly modify the /linuxrc script? Again, I'm not booting through PXE here. Thanks in advance. [1] http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/Troubleshooting-mount- problems#Reduce_the_UDP_packet_size --- MARVIN T.
