well hopefully I will soon be retiring this old hp kyak terminal server based on 8.2 and ltsp. I will then be running under mdk9.0 and kde3 with all its new goodies. what do you mean by borks and how do I fix it? is it possiable to get the eepro100 to net boot off of the terminal server, as though using a boot rom rather than pxe? I will see about the possiability of patches, but it would be a learning project for me to do. how do i check the status of cluseter-nfs?
