[Ltsp-discuss] KDE 3.0 installed.
I just installed it on my work Terminal Server. Sure its nice, but its the same old KDE. Its not as big of a jump as KDE 1.x to 2.x. Its pretty much KDE 2.x with cosmetic and preformance enhancements. It sure feels better, but I did a comparison on my terminal server (1/2 gig of ram and 850 Meg Duron). The total RSS from ps aux | grep kde | grep user for KDE2 to log in was 76 megs. For KDE3 to just log in was 104 megs. I guess you have to sacrifice something for preformance.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Motherboards with on-board LAN
I think all in one boards pretty much come with PXE in the bios somewhere, but you know mobo vendors, you just never know. I have never been unsuccesful thou, but I have only used one of two boards for building terminals: ASUS A7S-VM ECS K7SEM Both are athlon/duron based, so MB, Processor, and Memory are all about 200 or less. You can build a whole station for around 400-450 USD with a 15 monitor and small MicroATX case. I like the Casedge 1300ML. Its small, sleek, and looks neat. Putting the ASUS in however required a quick modification with a pair of tin snips however. The most ideal station I have built: Case: Casedge 1300ML Micro/Flex ATX Motherboard:ECS K7SEM. On board lan, SiS based chipset. Processor: Duron 800 Memory: 64 Megs of Ram. Monitor:17 KDS Avitron Keyboard Mouse Everything came together with no modifications, under 500USD. Set to bios to boot from the LAN, enter the appropriate settings on the server, and whalla, a better station than most people get ;) Watch the ASUS board thou, the PXE stuff is hidden in the bois and disabled by default. Its alittle hard to find, then when you DO get it enabled, you need to enter the NIC bios on post and enable it there. The K7SEM thou just worked. Arthur H.

There are problems with XFS (last time I checked, at least) when serving more than 20 stations or so. It will sometimes just die or stop working. I've also had problems with it refusing to read in my font directories after a time (this bug is known and there was no fix last I checked). So, it's probably not worth the risk of switching to XFS. I don't consider either way more elegant than the other, though. Both involve the same amount of work to add or change fonts on the system.

The howto says that you must run a dhcp-3.x.
PXE boot works easily and well - just follow the howto.
I've upgraded to dhcpd 3.0 but the result is unchanged :-(.

[Ltsp-discuss] SuSE 7.3 PXE Environment SUCCESS!
I don't have all the documentation compiled into an SGML file yet, but I have been successfull in an 8 hour research project into getting LTSP 2.08 with PXE booting on SuSE 7.3. SuSE 7.3 has DHCP 3.0 so it was quite easy once I had given up on RedHat's PXE server, which stinks. DHCP handles it much more elloquentally. Documentation to be posted soon. -- Arthur H.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] rtl8139 trouble
I have. My problem was that my kernel couldn't find a DHCP entry. On Wed, 10 Oct 2001, Ragnar [iso-8859-1] Wisløff wrote: Hello, I'm trying to get a machine with a noname PCI NIC using rtl8139 to work. It's meant to boot using a floppy generated from rom-o-matic.net. The machine runs fine as a local ws running Linux, with rt8139too as kernel driver module, using IRQ 3 and io range 1400-14ff. The 5.1.0 rom-o-matic image boots, finds the dhcp server, loads the kernel (I think, it goes a bit quick), but then freezes with rtl8139too: no I/O resource available and oops'es. I think this must be an ltsp thing, the boot image seems to do its job. The ltsp version is 2.08-0 and the kernel pulled across is vmlinuz.all. Any problems seen on this by someone else? -- Arthur H.

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Best low-cost client (advice please)
ECS has a motherboard called a K7SEM which does Intel PXE 2.0 booting via RTL 8129. The sound is a trident sound card, and the monitor is over 1024x768 at 16 bits. Should be enough for anyone. Its a Micro ATX so it would fit in a very small box. Its an AMD Duron board as well, so the processor will be very cheap. On Sat, 29 Sep 2001, Jan Wilson wrote: * Shane Kennedy [EMAIL PROTECTED] [010927 17:28]: I am currently developing my own box which will carry an ATX Flex board in a very small package(W14,D8 3/4,H2 1/2) with an optional clip on cable tidy cover if you want the connectors to the front. I am likely to make the box/PSU available for nominally over cost ($100?) to LTSP subscribers, partly to do my bit to undermine MS, but mostly, because the LTSP, and etherboot groups have been very free with their time in helping me. I will also have one slightly higher to take a CD/DVD, Fdd, and Hdd (Server ?). Have you considered placing two motherboards in the box? A decent power supply should be able to power two diskless workstations, and you could even include convenience AC outlets on the back for the monitors. One box between each two monitors, with fewer power cords, would be very handy for schools and cybercafes and reduce the cost of the workstations. Each mobo could be mounted to one side of the box, with most connectors in the back. I had thought of placing the power supply on the bottom, for a low center of gravity. Also, are your boxes shipping from Ireland? US? Both? Another advantage of the two-in-one boxes would be reduced cost of shipping. -- Arthur H.
