Hi Metal Gear You mentions MBA so I accept that you use a 3Com NIC. I had no problems with the 3Com NIC's that I have booting the PXE. Have a look at this page: http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/LTSP-MBA.htm I have not tried it myself. I do not see a date on the page so I do not know if it is s

Hi, I'm not on my usual machine so I don't have your earlier posts - I assume that you want to know why you can boot thin clients using etherboot but not pxe? If so, it is a little mystery because the kernel should be the same in both cases. Check that this is actually the case and that the pxe i

You haven't told us anything about your clients, other than they have PXE and they hang at uncompressing the kernel. Jim, I am too much new to this ltsp project. Can you briefly guide me as what more information i have to provide of the clients. Also, you stated specifically that the PXE cl
