Only general hints here, no knowledge about the issue. Basically, there should be two ways of accomplishing this: - Using the "chroot" command on the server, you can change the root of the server to be /opt/ltsp/i386 - Temporarily allow write access in /etc/exports, and do the install from the thin client. This adds the benefit of the hardware being the correct one when doing the install. Both of them have the problem that they rely on the installer not using any tools that are not included in LTSP. And, propriotary graphics drivers will often include a closed-source kernel module of some sort, which needs at least a compiler (gcc) for the adapter layer. So one would need to inspect the installation programs and see what tools they needed and copy that over as well. LTSP 5 will make this a lot easier, if things works out as planned. // Dag Sverre ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
