This isn't LTSP related anymore, so it doesn't belong here, but I'll answer your questions as best as I can.
I'd recommend you hit the Thinstation and/or PXES mailing lists/forums.

However, the PXES boot can be changed so that the PXE boot screen (i.e. where you choose which image you want loaded) can be set to a default choice and bypassed completely. You would do this in /tftpd/foobar/pxelinux.cfg/default (actually, this applies to any type of PXE boot setup). That file should already exist, installed by PXES. Edit it so that the image you want loaded is the default, and change the "prompt" parameter to 0. Now when you power on a thin client, the default image should get loaded without any user intervention. > - so what you describe in your 4th paragraph is the way to go! > > HOW-TO use the pxesconfig to make me an image ? > HOW-TO put what where?

It's been a while since I used it. The documentation is a little scattered, but it's all there. I suggest you have a read through it and then search the lists/forum for any problems you're having. > I also looked at the WIKI link given earlier in this thread.

Like the other poster said, I found it easier to work with and more flexible than PXES. If you join the Thinstation mailing list and ask for assistance, you should get a lot of help. I'm subscribed to that list as well. Best of luck!
