Thanks, John. I'll need to search on how to get a single nic to work with the current 64 install or... What kernel can I use to run a 32 bit system with more than 4 gigs ram? My new box is running 32 gigs ram.
That quickly gets out of my depth. If there is a 32-bit kernel that supports that much RAM, I don't know about it.
But on the other point, I vaguely recall that under the classic LTSP setup, there was a provision for using a single NIC.
It could be that your hardware (client and server) indicates that classic LTSP is your best fit.
You could sign up for the LTSP mail list at http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ltsp-discuss and probably get more expansive and precise advice.

I'm finally replacing my single nic 10.04 Ubontu LTSP classroom server with a new box. I have found Alkis' writeup on how to do a single nic install. My new system is a 64 bit box and I wonder how I should generate an i386 image for my classroom clients? Here's the page that I've been following: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ltsp-pnp The instruction: ltsp-config lts.conf generates /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/amd64/lts.conf ... a 64 bit labeled file ltsp-update-image --arch i386 doesn't work as the --arch isn't recognized... /usr/sbin/ltsp-update-image: unrecognized option '--arch' Also, I suppose the procedure only works with a 32 bit system as the ltsp.conf file listed refers to- gedit /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf I sure could use some suggestions. I had already ordered the parts for a new server and they arrived last Friday. I rebuilt an image on my old Ubuntu server on Monday that includes the mit app inventor. I powered the machine off after the image was created to blow it out only to discover that the power supply was bad and already fried part of the motherboard. I had been running it headless and hadn't noticed the video was gone. I did notice a smell last week though... $@#@%@ At least I have the new parts and I'm close to being back up. Thank everyone If you use the LTSP-PNP setup, your client and server installation architectures have to match. So if your clients need i386, then you have to install Ubuntu i386 on the server as well. If you really want x64 on the server, then you have to use the classic LTSP setup with a chroot environment and i386 installed there in order to generate an i386 client image.
