I wanted to ask a few questions regarding the basic setup of LTSP.
1) Is there a list of the abbreviations for the video driver modules which can be used in configuring the 'lts.conf' file? I can't seem to find one anywhere, and without it I'm forced to leave my terminals set to 'auto'.
Try the vidlist file in the same directory as the lts.conf
In previous versions of LTSP, I used to be able to point to specific modules with certain comments in the config file (typical example - XSERVER = XF86_SVGA), but I can't remember where to find that list.
Is there some sort of cross-reference list that tells us which module to apply for particular video cards?
No (AFAIK) but there is a way to figure it out, I will try to post a how to later today or tomorrow on ltsp.criticalcontrol.com
2) The 'ltspcfg' config package allows you to quickly create the basic config files needed for LTSP which is a major time saver. But a curious thing seems to happen as well.
In all my experience, DHCP servers hand out their IP addresses in reverse order - that is they start at the highest IP address and work down to the lowest, but 'ltspcfg' creates a hosts file that is backwards from that.
Am I way off here, or would it be possible to reverse the order of the host-entries in the hosts file? The only reason I ask is because the hosts file contains enough entries to fill an entire subnet, and if someone had to edit that hosts file for an entire subnet it could take a lot of time.
I am not sure why one should need a host file in the first place... Mine has been empty since day one, never a problem...
Just a thought.
