> > [discussion about LTSP and PXE and Etherboot and wired ethernet adapters]
Why is PXE necessary for LTSP? From the LTSP web site, I get the impression that it can run inside several distros, including Fedora and Debian. There are Fedora- and Debian- derived distros for XO. XO's OFW firmware can load kernels and initramfs's over either USB Ethernet adapters or the built-in wireless, using TFTP or HTTP or NFS. It's also possible to boot diskless with root on NFS. In fact that's how the manufacturer runs their Linux-based burn-in diagnostics. What you can't do is run an absolutely stock distro, because you need a kernel that supports the OLPC-specific hardware. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
