1) Configure grub (as another poster mentioned) to offer the LTSP server as a boot option. 1.5) Similar to above, but insert an etherboot CD whenever you want to boot from the LTSP server. 2) Boot to a full X environment locally, and use FreeNX or VNC to remotely log in to the LTSP server. This works with either Windows or Linux running on the local machine. 3) Boot Linux locally to a text environment, and run this command: X -query ltspservername -- Note that XDMCP must be enabled on the LTSP server for this to work. -Rob ******************************************************** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
