Here's the scenario:
1. I'm trying to build a LTSP installation of the ubuntu distribution.
2. I have the box ready (a 2 ghz box with about 1 GB ram) with ubuntu installed with the neccessary packages for LTSP.
The choices:
LTSP has 2 "modes" for installation, firstly the complete install that includes a DHCP server. This server gives the IP and then the tftp's the neccessary kernel files over the network to the client.
The other method is a "partial" install of sorts, where the LTSP server does not install a DHCP server. You need to put in a setting in your DHCP server pointing to the boot server.
The problem:
I'm trying this out in a production LAN that already has a DHCP server. Hence, I don't want to install another one. Also, I don't have access to the current server to make any changes.
Is there a way that I can boot of the network card and manually tell it which IP to boot from? Any idea's on creating this scenario in another way with the same constraints?
Best regards,
Akshay Lamba
