Looked over the directory structure in the tftp directory compared to |
| 2 |
what was setup in the ltsp directory. |
| 3 |
Found some differences. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Copied over a directory called 2.6.17.80ltsp-1 which contained all the |
| 6 |
needed files in proper placement to tftp under the same original name. |
| 7 |
Adjusted some conf files to point where needed and my test laptop |
| 8 |
started to boot. |

First problem I ran into here was due to the touch mouse hardware. |
| 11 |
It caused the boot to hang or panic. I deactivated the touch mouse and |
| 12 |
the boot restarted and progressed further till another problem. |
| 13 |
During the boot process was getting error notices about not being able |
| 14 |
to connect to the nfs server. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Did some research and found this sometimes occurs when the speed of the |
| 17 |
server nic is so much faster then the client nic. Apparently this showed |
| 18 |
up with the 2.6 kernel. |
| 19 |
Anyway, some more tweeks and had a successful boot and was greeted by |
| 20 |
the KDE login screen. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Logged in and was greeted by my usual desktop. Setting are still default |
| 23 |
so will play with them for such things as sound. |

Decided to order a diskless workstation from |
| 26 |
http://www.disklessworkstation.com/ They appear to be a supporter of the |
| 27 |
ltsp project. |
| 28 |
Also ordered an etherboot model, since that is an open standard. |
| 29 |
Now when that shows up get to beat on it for a while. |
