Dear LTSP-Group,

is anybody planning on going to this "Computer Camp"? Maybe already have
had some experience of what to expect at this event from the last time
four years ago: here's a link:
http://www.ccc.de/camp/2003/index.en.html

I thought maybe of using the time to setup a LTSP-demo Server for the duration
of the camp.  My idea would be to "hand out" 3.5'' FloppyDisks with a
EtherBoot Image to let anyone interested to boot their own computer
off my server, logon and "see LTSP for themselves" .
Could this image be "tagged" in some way as to force a unique 
automatic logon to KDE as a certain user (UID).

Would the (normaly downloaded) Kernel fit on a Floppy and
be able to Boot the terminal? 

There are some problems that I would not know how to solve....
* there will be any number DHCP-Server's on the shared network.
  can the Ether-Boot Image be taught to send the initial DHCP
  Request to MY Server so responding with a 'non' offical IP allowing
  the requester to TFP the Kernal image from my server.
  When the kernel starts up it would then need to get it's address from
  a differant official DHCP Server - responsible for the whole network's
  address range.

Is what I want to do possible?

Does anybody have some tips as to where to read up on this.  Am I
over looking something?

my best regards,

Stefan
