I am new to Linux and LTSP.
Our school has 50 thin clients waiting to boot from a LTSP server. After a
week of configuring the server, we have come up against a wall. The client
begins to boot from the server at first but then stops. I've included a copy
of the boot log below.
We have a Pentium 4 2.6 GHz Processor on an Intel board with 1GB of DDR RAM.
We are attempting to use a WAN DHCP server for all other computers at our
school and utilize the LTSP server for thin client IP addresses.
Thanks in advance for any help.
