Hi I set up an experimental network with two Compaq deskpros (PIII/600 Mhz server) (PII 400 Mhz client) For the client I burned a CD-ROM from room-o-matic. I used the following selections: In: Choose NIC/ROM type I selected "eepro100:xxxxxxx" eepro100 is the driver family for my compaq grapic cards. The XXXXXXX , could be anything but was for me unnecceassary info as I intented to use a CD for starting the client. In: Choose ROM output format I selected Iso bootable image without legacy floppy emulation. An uploaded the driver.
I then burned the image to a CD and popped it into the clients CD drive. A corollary to Murphys law is: "Things never work the first time" but to my surprise IT WORKED. /ola -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Subject: LTSP EdUbuntu Client Rom-o-matic Problems Date: Sat, 2 Feb 2008 11:18:09 -0800 (PST) hi all, i'm trying to setup edubuntu as a terminal server with about 8 clients at a local school. i have the server setup (amd 2.0 ghz opteron) and i'm trying to connect the clients. they have network boot, but don't have pxe capability. therefore, i need to use: http://rom-o-matic.net/5.4.3/ to create a boot disk for them. the clients ar p200 - p300 computers from gateway and compaq. i have the mac addresses and i searched for the mfr information and have that, too. however, i have no clue how to correlate that information to use the Choose NIC/ROM type: on the rom-o-matic.net page. can anyone help? also, the instructions at http://www.edubuntu.org/GettingStarted say i need to enable pxe emulation. does that mean i have to choose the pxe bootstrap loader format option ROM image for Choose ROM output format:? do i need to set any items in Configure configuration options? any help is greatly appreciated. i'm looking forward to giving the kids a whole new and much improved computing experience over their current win98 slow boat to nowhere experience. tia... ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
