Actually this what I was talking about, the LTSP initrd that is loaded on a client HAS LTSP specific programs for autodetection of the network card and for mounting the NFS root file system, for parsing the command line options (passed by the dhcpd server with 'option 129'), The kernel might be able to set-up the NFS root by itself, but I'm not sure about that. -- mitu ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
