Subject: Re: LTSP EdUbuntu Client Rom-o-matic Problems
Hi,
2008/2/2, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
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?
Have you PCI's ID for the NIC ?
For list PCI's ID use on the old computers "lspci -n" with the liveCD.
And choose in the menu the NIC with the PCI's ID on the http://rom-o-matic.net
Choose on the menu "ROM output format" floppy bootable ROM for diskette or ISO
Bootable image for CD Boot
Generate image with "Get ROM" and download on your PC with floppy or CD burn
and create diskette " dd if=image-disk.zdsk of=/dev/fd0 "
or burn image.iso on the CD
Bye
---------------------------------
can someone help me understand how PCI ID? i did lspci -n on my current
computer and it gave me a list (maybe 10-15 list items). how do i use that
list to choose the right figure out the entry I should choose in the NIC/Rom
type select box when i have a chance to visit the school and run the same
command on their client computers?
tia...
