*** It's doable..How you do it depends on the situation. Do you have a DHCP server available locally (ie: can your kiosks query a dhcp server?). If so you can specify all the ip information just add an "option next-server <ip-address of your server>" to the dhcpd.conf file If you don't have a dhcp server available then another possibility is to boot off a floppy or a hard drive. Recompile a kernel for the client (I'm not sure on what you need for LTSP 3 since I'm still using 2.07 and am quite happy with it). Put it on a floppy with DOS & loadlin. Boot off the disk and boot the kernel with: loadlin kernel root=/dev/nfs \ nfsaddrs=nfsaddrs=<my-ip>:<serv-ip>:<gw-ip>:<netmask>:<name>:<dev>:none see http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/BootPrompt-HOWTO-3.html#ss3.4 for info on the above parameters. Of course you can do the same as above with a little hard drive space and lilo. Finally if you don't have a hard drive or floppy available (truly diskless) I guess you could 'hack' etherboot and hard code the necessary values to create a boot rom. > Thanks. > > Brian Armstrong. > > _____________________________________________________________________ > Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
