Hi Jim,
Just wondering if my email went through to you last Sept 23 & 24. I sent it to your

Hi!
Today at our LUG meeting we tried to set up an old
ISA/VLB(non-PCI) 486 PC as an LTSP Client - without success.
I think the problem is located in the initrd,
because scanning of
/proc/bus/pci/devices
fails - there is no PCI Bus or Controller.
After taht the script is acting like I have
hanX bill,
Could u suggest me which of this is a better solution ??

Great tip, thanks.
I presume you were referring to the FlexATX
http://www.fspgroup.co.uk/products/pcpower/flexatx12v.asp
Saves me about 1cm in height, however I happened to take a look at their
OpenFrame power supplies. Looks to me like one of their quad output open
frame set top box supplies
The responses are great.
I am taking a look at the different ones and am impressed with different
values.

Looks fine to me, even with a memory hog like Mozilla. If your terminals
are half decent spec, I'd look at running Mozilla as a local app on
them. You'll avoid some of the grief that comes from using Flash on
remote workstations, and if one terminal does lock up, no-one else will
be affected.

Michael,
What does the error message say ?
And, why do you want to do a chroot ? You really don't
need to after doing the pivot_root.
Also, good to see someone up in Calumet using LTSP. I lived in Hancock

It depends what your definition of 'best' is.
Some times you want a full blown KDE/Gnome desktop.
Other times, you want something a bit less resource draining, such as
icewm.

Someone on this list mentioned taking a redhat install and changing one
line in the initab file to make it become a ltsp client.
Would someone care to share what that change was?
Thanks.

I would be interested in hearing what everyone thinks is best for a ltsp

Normally, a momentary pushbutton is supplied by the case vendor.

I have ltsp setup on a 333mhz P2 and 256MB of ram. My girlfriend and I use
it simulteneously and the ram usage never gets above 110MB.
Is it me or are people going RAM crazy?

If you have load balancing rather than fail-over then you risk
that such a user ends up on the node that still has not been
