I think there are three places where this comes up: pre-kernel booting, post-kernel initrd, and maintenance. It sounds like you've got the first step. Here are notes I made for myself after getting this up on Xubuntu 6.10: 1. Etherboot: downloaded an etherboot image from http://rom-o-matic.net/ with the alternate ports, set the alternate ports on the server in /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf (local-port and remote-port) and opened firewall holes. 2. Kernel bootup: after etherboot gets the kernel with tftp, and it begins to boot it will ask dhcp for an address and location for the nfs root. This is controlled in the /scripts/nfs file in the client's initrd. * on the server, chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 * edit /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/nfs and change the line ipconfig ${DEVICE} to ipconfig -p 1068 ${DEVICE} * create a new initrd with update-initramfs -c -k {kernel-version-number eg. 2.6.7-10-386}. You might want to save a copy of the original first. * make a new nbi image combining the kernel and initrd with mkelf-linux --output=/boot/nbi.img-2.6.17-10-386 vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-386 initrd.img-2.6.17-10-386 (using the appropriate kernel version numbers) * exit the chroot * copy the new initrd and nbi.img from /opt/ltsp/i386/boot into /var/lib/tftpboot/i386 so tftp will serve it out. 3. After booting, the dhcp client will maintain the network ip (TODO: I haven't figured out if this is necessary yet since the DHCP servers are in sync other than the nfs stuff). > System: kubuntu feisty + ltsp5 from kubuntu package sources > > Problem2: ltsp-manager stops with message > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/bin/ltsp-manager", line 13, in <module> > import ltsp > ImportError: No module named ltsp Don't know this one. -Steve -- Steven Cayford McNamara Academic Center University of Minnesota http://gopheracademics.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
