I've tried to follow this guide to get LTSP to boot from a USB Flash Drive, but with no sucess: http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/BootingFromLocalDevice
I am in need of some guidance and was hoping someone could give me some insight on how to accomplish this. First a little background on my system. My company has 6 locations in 3 different states. I work at the main branch which also houses the main server. The remaining 5 branches connect back to the main branch via T1 lines. Right now we run NCD thin clients that boot across the T's and the end users login to the main server, run X, etc, across the T line. This works fine, except as we have grown over the years, gotten more users, it is getting slower and slower. Anyway, to make a long story short, I setup one of our branches to use a local LTSP server and they only pull one app across the T. This works great! However, my boss wants me to come up with a backup plan in case that server goes down. I have tried to have them boot LTSP across the T, but it is extremely slow! What I would like to do is install LTSP on a bunch of USB keys that they can load up when/if their LTSP server crashes. That way they are still running X locally, they would get their IP via DHCP and w ouldn't have to NFS mount the root directory (which seems to be why booting over the T is so slow). Any ideas how I can get this done? Thanks, Andrew ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
