If I understood the question, you want a MDK 9.1 system with
thin (possibly diskless) clients/terminals to attach to it.
With that, my understanding is that 9.1 has the config tools
to set this up via drakTermServ. To install:
urpmi terminal-server
It is on the Download Edition's third CD (i18n).
I know MDK 9.1 has the server tools to make it work as I have
done it manually and with LTSP. That said, I prefer the rpms
from LTSP.org along with their config tools (as opposed to a
manual or drakTermServ setup) for a one machine quick server
setup. The clients are PXE (or boot floppy) based and thus
have *nothing* on them what-so-ever, they network boot.
The main relevent server components are:
xdm (or kdm or gdm) - supplies graphical login for clients
dhcpd - Assigns clients IP addresses and directs them to
boot code if required.
tftp - Where the initial boot code comes from usually.
nfs - How the clients get a root filesystem to run X and
use xdmcp.
named (DNS) - hostname lookup
LTSP makes the setup a reletive breeze. http://www.ltsp.org/
Good Luck,
Woody
