It is probably a good idea to skip thin client server unless you plan to work on fixing the installation. > I flet lost when it asked the name of OCS inventory machine. > I wrote "localhost"... Good choice. The OCS stuff is not ready yet, and I dropped it from the default installation yesterday. > I do not know what is this service...can you give me a short explanation? It is an web based inventory database.

Some of the issues you report are fixed (ocsinventory is no longer installed), but others (LTSP install) is probably still there. I have tested main-server install and main-server + workstation install, and am working on the PXE installation from main-server at the moment. I hope someone can look at the LTSP installation soon. Note that there is something strange with the automatic configuration system. It does not work when I tested in in qemu, but work when I run it manually during or after installation. No idea what is going on. It will affect several services. Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
