For people trying to install ltsp on Mandrake 9.0 here is what I went thru:
Trying to install with a 3c509 network card yield to a bunch of troubles, but I made the mistake of downloading a boot floppy from rom-o-matic.com that was actually from a "developing version" so that might have being my mistake (the terminal reboot after loading the kernel). then on the start of tftp it makes a -s /usr/lib/tftpboot so you might need to change that script which is in /etc/xinetd.d/tftpboot (do a vi /etc/xinetd.d/tftpboot) and you should change that to /tftpboot, or the other way around that is to actually move your kernel image to /usr/lib/tftpboot and make according changes en /etc/dhcpd.conf. ok so that solved almost all of the problems, another problemas was when ther kernel was in memory and in tried to set the nfs root file system it said something like: Mounting root filesystem:/opt/ltsp/i386 from 10.18.40.254 The problem here was that there is no 10.18.40.254 address so you changed that to your actual tcp/ip address actually I think that everything that ends with .254 should be changed to your server IP address. Now I have the problem of the X display gray with just the mouse cursor on it, but I understand this has to do with the gdm, kdm, xdm logon managers probably something about security withing mandrake 9.0, I am working on the solution, any help is aprecciated and this is posted just because it might help someone with problems in mandrake 9.0 installing the great ltsp packages. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
