The Edubuntu handbook has the best information about LTSP at the moment, with a complete description of everything, including the boot process. > This did not install the nfs-kernel-server, I had to install by hand. > nfs and dhcp are now running. We're not using NFS by default anymore. Instead, we're compressing the LTSP chroot with squashfs, and serving it out via NBD. This was done to both address people who didn't want to have to run NFS servers by default, as well, reducing network usage, by transferring compressed data over the network. > * ltsp-build-client > > Downloaded a LOT of stuff.

You can either install via the network, or, of you've got the cd, you can use the cd to build the chroot. > * Power the thin client, which boots until an initramfs prompt > (initramfs) > > OK this is not something I can give my customers.

So, you tried something once, run into a problem, and instead of asking for some help, you simply announce it's not something you can give to people? > The attraction of LTSP5 is support for new hardware via a new server OS > as the years go by. The attraction of 4.2 is that it just works (but > will date; eg we're running LTSP3 on RedHat9 and it's starting to really > hurt) LTSP 4.2 also had lots of things in which it didn't "just work", we've made huge improvements in ltsp 5 with sound, localdevices, better autodetection of hardware, and we're working on a rock solid local apps implementation now. Clearly, from my point of view, ltsp5 is miles ahead of where we used to be. > Anybody sell me the solution (non-english pardon the idiom) > Anybody tell me what you think is a good idea on the way to go from here Umm, help you to get ltsp5 working?
