Is it possible to have Diskless workstation in freebsd
Hi Freebsd I have a need to setup 3 workstations to boot remotely without any ( OS) on local disks, What are ways to go about achieving that, I want the users to have all their utilities and files stores all back stored in the remote server. But confusion how the OS going to detect the correct local Hardware resources for it to run right drivers, example being the VGA driver, local keyboard and mouse. Please advise Thanks Dak ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There is a 27.6 Diskless Operation paragraph in FreeBSD Handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-diskless.html) and article Diskless X Server: a how to guide (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/diskless-x/index.html). Maybe it helps. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
