I'm at a point where, with the help of a friend, I think I'm almost there.
What I have is a client screen with a black X in the center of the screen and a gray background. According to the following document: http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/mandrake_ltsp.html "If X starts up but the cursor just sits in the middle of the screen (you don't get a login screen), then you almost certainly are not running xdm/kdm/gdm on your server. As root, run one of the three (I like kdm myself) but typing 'kdm' and pressing enter -OR- just switch to runlevel 5 by typing 'init 5' as root. Runlevel 5 is the graphical login mode. Reboot the workstation and it should get to the login prompt this time." I tried "#kde" and I was back to the cursor. I reboot the client box but no change. I tried "#init 5" and the following was displayed: "Assigning raw devices:Cannot locate block device '/dev/dvd' (No such file or directory) [FAILED]" Side note: In reference to the above [FAILED] message, when I first boot the server today I had removed my CD burner so I connected the DVD drive instead. I have copied 2 files referred to in the mandrake how-to, /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf and /etc/dhcpd.config.sample lts.conf follows: [Default] SERVER =192.168.0.1 XSERVER =auto X_MOUSE_PROTOCOL ="PS/2" X_MOUSE_DEVICE ="/dev/psaux" X_MOUSE_RESOLUTION =400 X_MOUSE_BUTTONS =3 USE_XFS =N LOCAL_APPS =N RUNLEVEL =5 #Comments about lts.conf: #the client box is using a video card with a S3 chipset {S3 Trio64v+} #the client box is using a MS serial mouse, the server is using the mouse with the PS/2 connector. dhcpd.config.sample follows: subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0{ #default gateway option routers 192.168.0.1; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option domain-name "domain.org"; option domain-name-servers ns.domain.org; option nis-domain "domain.org"; range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.254; ddns-update-style none; default-lease-time 21600; max-lease-time 43200; host ns{ hardware ethernet 12:34:56:78:AB:CD; fixed-address 207.175.42.254; } } #Comments about dhcpd.config.sample #When I boot the client it states: #Digital Tulip+: 00:CO:FO:21:12:70 at ioaddr 6100 "This is not the same as above, yet it seems to connect anyway.? #Me 192.168.0.254 #Server 192.168.0.1 Any suggestions are appreciated. There will be other clients identical to the one being used, each with their own MAC, I know not where to indicate in the configuration files. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
