Is there any reason why the workstations have to be runing under slim kernel
and nano-X. I think there are packages out there which allow an X desktop
ontop of Windows - all of the processing is done on the servers - the client
just displays the X desktop environment.
If you don't need X, you can simply ssh or telnet into your server from
within windows, but from your description it sounds like you want to run an
X environment.

Well, what I am actually after is a single floppy with a slim FB
kernel
(ip, and video mode hard coded) nano-X, and rwin. I am a complete
win2k/XP enviro, so I don't have NFS. This is a temp solution till I
figure out how to make the floppy! I forgot about about tmp...If I
mount
my root as RO, I cant start X, and run rdesktop could I?

I think you are going to be wanting to read up on NFS to mount your
server /
as a read-only partition.
You may also want to set these terminals up as diskless, and have
/tmp
mounted as a ram disk.
Step 1 - read up on NFS. It can be quite complicated so you want to
get
this
bit nailed down first...

I would like to make a few terminals, and these will only be
used
for
running Rdesktop.
I wanna be able to mount the root as RO and what ever else
is
required
so even if the user turns the power off, the install would
not
be
affected, nor run fsck at bootup.
Can anyone advise on all the procedures to do this?
I am only presuming that root needs to be RO, but like I
said,
all
the
needed procedures should be outlined, I am just learning
Linux
now.
The terminals are all IDE disks.
Thank you,
jlc
