That almost defeats the purpose of using LTSP in general, but it is impossible for me in my situation. I am working with 2 test systems and will be handling a large number of systems soon. These systems come to me with a blank hard drive, no floppies, and no CD-ROM. At this point, the entire

Thank you, Jason. You've given me some good info on what to search for (I've found lots of time it's very difficult to search for a topic because the choice of key words can be too wide, and it takes too long to sort through and try different combinations), as well as some very useful informat

Hal, You do not need ENBD unless the controlling scripts are running on the LTSP *server* in which case they need access over the network to the client drive. From what it sounds like, this is not what you want. Many people have modified and played around with the rc.local script in LTSP to get

The older Trident cards require an X-server that comes with XFree86 3.x. I believe LTSP 3.0 defaults to XFree86 4.x. Make sure you have XFree86 v3.x on your server, use it and the default SVGA server to get X up and running, then fine tune it. Truthfully, the quickest way to get your X-server ru
