The only difference with the I-opener (unless I'm wrong) is skipping the etherboot step. Configuring the system to do that has been a problem for some, so I have finally done something that I should have done a while ago. I have grabbed images of my I-opener's whole disk and its 4MB partition. I managed to get bzip2 to stuff each image into 2.3MB. I think that just using dd to plop the disk image on /dev/hdb will make other I-opener's work, especially when everything else is setup properly. You can grab the image at the bottom of http://home.hiwaay.net/~jeffj1/ltsp/ I'm running LTSP v3, and the I-opener has kernel 2.4.9 with the swap over NFS patch (but I haven't used that). The only reason I can think to upgrade that software is if it was needed to support a new X server, but I can't think of everything. -- Jeff Jackowski http://ro.com/~jeffj/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The debugger for complex code.
