when you say the boot sector of the workstations, are you referring to the floppy diskettes, this is probably due to old disks or even more possibly bad drives. i went through a number of old drives before finding a decent one, its been ok since
floppy and cdrom support is documented i believe on the ltsp website.i think the files you are looking for are nbd and such, all can be foudn here http://ltsp.sourceforge.net/contrib/generic_rmedia.html hope this helps... joey ----- Original Message ----- From: potla murali <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 6:06 AM Subject: [Ltsp-discuss] couple of questions > Hi, > I have successfully configured LTSP on Red Hat 7.3. > I am successfully running some clients over that > server. > > I have some small questions > > 1) I am unable to see X running on a workstation which > has 3Com (3c509) ISA NIC Card, 20 MB RAM and Cyrrus > Logic GD 5428 VGA Card.
