James, Maybe I don't understand your question, but it sounds like you want to have the server boot from one kernel, and the workstations to boot from a different kernel ? If that's the case, then YES. That is how it works. The workstation kernel has NOTHING to do with the server kernel. In fact, the server doesn't even have to be Linux. or a x86 compatible machine.
The workstation will grab kernels from /tftpboot/lts, and mount the /opt/ltsp/i386 directory as the root filesystem. This has nothing to do with whatever is running on the server. And, for the workstations, you can have as many kernels as you want. Just set the proper 'filename' in the /etc/dhcpd.conf file for each workstation. As for X servers, again, same thing. The Xserver that you install for the workstations doesn't have anything to do with your video card on the server. In fact, you don't even need to run X on the server. And, we have all of the X336 Xservers available as separate packages, so pick the one you want, and set the XSERVER paramter in lts.conf. Hope that helps, Jim McQuillan [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 11 Jun 2002, James Mitchell Ullman wrote: > I haven't tried installing yet, but I am looking forward to.
