Hello all,
I'd like some assistance in formulating my plan of attack for a
thin client project I'd like to implement using LTSP. Here's what I
need to accomplish:
1) Boot diskless thin client kernel from:
A) Disk-On-Chip Flash card if kernel image present
B) if no kernel image on DOC, use DHCP to contact TFTP
server to download kernel and copy to DOC
2) As the client is diskless I'd like to run the OS from either
a RAMDISK or a temp file system in RAM
3) Load X and a RDP client to access MS Term server.
That's the general overview. I'm having trouble with some of the
specifics, such as:
- First, how can I setup the boot environment to achieve my
first goal? I don't have problem with either booting using a TFTP
server or from the DOC but I have not been able to figure out how to
combine these two approaches.
- Secondly, is a fixed size RAMDISK appropriate for my goals? I
originally was thinking of using an absolute bar bones kernel (basically
just with RAMDISK and IDE support) and a small set of shell commands.
I'd mount all this to a RAMDISK and run the OS from there. Problems
doing this?
Thanks for the advice,
Matt
