After changing dhcpd.conf I got the message upon trying to boot the thin client, this is not an AMD64 machine ..... So yes, I will rebuild and see how it goes. Thank you for the help. Regards, Paul (msg2) Hi Gavin and Karl, It is now 12.07 am in New Zealand but I just want to report that redoing the build with ltsp-build-client --arch i386 did the trick. I also had to restore the dhpd.conf file back to what it was. I had a backup, so that part was easy :-) I am just wondering now how running various applications is going to work. Am I going to have to Install i386 versions? Presumably not as everything runs on the server, so the I386 is basically only about the display? Anyway, it is bedtime for me, so thank you once again for the input. Regards, Paul (reply to msg2): My understanding is that any code that runs on the client must be built for the architecture of the client. what this means practically (ie to you :)), is that only the chroot needs to be 32 bit, everything else can be installed 64bit on the server. however, you should remember lots of stuff (ie flash) doesnt run well on the 64 bit systems. hope i got your question, kk -- Karl Goetz User of gNewSense: Free as in Freedom - http://www.gnewsense.org Australian Ubuntu users team - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam User of Debian, The Universal Operating System - http://www.debian.org -- edubuntu-users mailing list edubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
