look at http://developer.skolelinux.no/dokumentasjon/install_without_autopartkit.txt There I have installed Venus Main+ltps-server on a laptop, in addition to sarge (main installation), win2k and WinXP for test. > Yes, the problem comes from building manually partitionment... but it's > strange > it's allowed by the installer and has a known grave bug (hopefully I know > a bit Linux & Debian...) > > > > - The target configuration is a main PC (server) and an old one used as > > > a thin client.

You have 2 options: Using a dummy interface dummy0: in /etc/network/interfaces: replace eth0 with dummy0 replace eth1 with eth0 in /etc/default/dhcp3-server remove eth1 from the list of interfaces to listen to or you may rewrite /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf and /etc/exports to set the thin-client on eth0 > > Yes, but in my case, the first interface is totally not used !
