I am currently looking into this very topic. I have a Compaq Evo T20 thin client which has window nte (the embedded version) on it. I can't find a free partitioning tool to allow me to put a small linux partition on the flash disk, so I am attempting exactly what you describe. My plan is to use the nt loader to load lilo (well documented in various windows nt + linux faqs). The twist for me is that the etherboot image will need to live on the NT filesystem. Lilo doesn't currently have the ability to read ntfs, so my choices are to either hack NTFS support into lilo or figure out a way to manually enter the blocks that the etherboot image will occupy. The former is more robust but harder. The latter is probably easier, but prone to error. I started looking into this about an hour ago, so (as you can see) I haven't clearly formulated my plan yet... /Tad -- Tad Truex <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: To learn the basics of securing your web site with SSL, click here to get a FREE TRIAL of a Thawte Server Certificate: http://www.gothawte.com/rd524.html _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
