There is no point in doing it this way. Install a system - you choose - gutsy - dsl - knoppix even ltsp5 chroot (you need to do some work, but it's small and works) Access your LTSP server using ldm or xdmcp If your problem is 'there's already another dhcp-server in the network' there are many solutions, give details to get suggestions or look at http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/WebHome James ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
