Hi Ludwig,

I am not sure about what you will make working?
Localboot = Booting without PXE
Localboot = OTCOS is installed on local Drive

Normaly you want this only if your networkconnection is very slow (<10 MB) to speedup booting
Localboot does not support the same networkdrivers like PXE one... i think

Does the "PXE Booting" working correct..
What networkadapter has your Lenovo?

Hello,

(i missclicked and unfortunatly sent my mail before finishing it, so here it is again.)

First i have to say that i usually speak german and my english lessons in school are already a few years in the past, please be patient and ask if something is incomprehensible. Google Translate will be my friend ;) What i have to say too ist hat my Linux experience is not very well so i ask you to describe me solutions step by step please. And last but not least: I have no idea how this mailinglist is working, i hope i will ever find my post again! ;)

We are currently testing the OTCL System in our company and are having some troubles with or on the clients:

It all began with some IGEL Thinclients, low-level hardware but delivered with a management suite and so on. Just invented ald set up at some desktops users already began to complain about performance problems. While viewing and scrolling through .pdf files the screen refresh rate was that low that the shown file appeared block by block and line by line. Unacceptable while working with documents containig a few hundred pages. These problems didn't apear on normal PCs in the same office, just these Thinclients. So we decided to take a look at some other systems.

Open Thinclient appears tob e a nice alternative and so we ordered a blanc Thinclient, without any OS. A lenovo IdeaCentre Q180 with built in 2,13GHz Dualcore, 2GB Memory, 320GB HDD (i know, unneccesary -.-), and an ati Radeon 6450 graphics card. Quite a nice equipment for oure requirements.

After i managed the first hurdle (never used PXE network boot before) the same problem again:

"...shown file appeared block by block and line by line..."

Well, maybe there's an option to install that OS on the client. I searched and could find the localboot application. I set up the application, pushed it to my client and began installing it to the built in disk. All done, no obvious errors -> reboot.

Boot form disk without any problems, but now i have a few problems:

I'm hanging in a loop of text lines counting up:

If i unplug the mouse it only stops at this line:

"IP-Config: eth0 hardware address 50:af:73:1d:f6:85 mtu 1500 DHCP RARP"

I first thought it is because of a missing or wrong graphics-driver, but when i add a graphic-card-device containing ati drivers it just shows an error message:

"Failed to start x-server", so I removed the device (in management suite).

Please help me, I'm glad about every single hint..!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
