What I found works nicely is to a) Build a VB thinclient with minimal hard disk (I used 4M) b) get a gpxe image from http://www.rom-o-matic.net/ I got gpxe-0.9.6-pcnet32.lkrn c) follow the wiki (lilo way) http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/BootingFromHarddrive This gives a pxe boot (which is what I want for testing) that is sweet :-) James ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
