My understanding is that ENBD has a number of enhancements, including improved reliability. But I'm 100% sympathetic to the desire to stick with stock kernels. On Mon, 2005-03-14 at 15:40 -0500, Jim McQuillan wrote: > My understanding is the ENBD is some enhancements to work with removable > med

My understanding is the ENBD is some enhancements to work with removable media. And, i'm pretty sure that ENBD isn't in the stock kernel. I'm ONLY interested in a solution that doesn't require modifying the server kernel. Jim McQuillan [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Mon, 14 Mar 2005, Dan Stromberg wrote

Peter, Thanks, that's excellent work. I'm very interested to see how it works on a thin client. This could completely solve our NFS-Swap issue. Jim. On Mon, 14 Mar 2005, Peter Childs wrote: > Peter Childs wrote: > > > Jim McQuillan wrote: > > > > > I've been looking at using nbd for swapping

Dan, in the wireless package for LTSP, there's a file called 'syslinux.cfg'. It's on the floppy image, so you can edit the file, and add 'DPORT=1067' to the end of the 'append' line. Jim McQuillan [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Fri, 11 Mar 2005, Dan Visentin wrote: > I'm looking to get some wireless cli

Christoffer, Yes, In ltsp-4.1, we put all the kernel building into the LBE. But, it turns out to be a major pain in the butt to build kernels that way. So, we're working on a solution that is more like ltsp_initrd_kit. It'll be a couple of months before that is ready to go though. Jim McQuilla

Hi! Is there any plans of a ltsp_initrd_kit for the 2.6 kernel? I know there is a issue with the 2.6 kernel and nfs swap, but it would be great to use the 2.6 kernel on the clients due to the better support of 802.11g cards - Christoffer
