hi mikec, please try to enter the BIOS of these eSeSIX thin clients (probaly via <DEL> key, as they should have a standard PC Award BIOS). you may find an option to enable the Boot Rom of the onboard LAN chip at "Integrated Peripherals" (if present).
you may also need to enter the realtek BIOS and enable PXE-boot (try <SHIFT><F10> or <SHIFT><TAB> after motherboard BIOS POST). if none of this helps and these clients definitely do no support PXE, have a look at etherboot to get the gPXE stack booted from compact flash: http://etherboot.org/wiki/index.php furthermore there is a way to get openthinclient (or at least grub, kernel and initrd) installed on these CF-cards even without booting from PXE in the first place. but this will require some decent linux and openthinclient knowledge. somehow or other keep in mind that openthinclient won't work as expected with clients having less than 128MB RAM installed. regards, martin Am 14.06.2010 20:07, schrieb TheOnlyMIKEC: > I read the documentation and it states that one of the requirements is > PXE.
