Ernesto you are doing really great things, but in your hurry it seems you may have missed a few basics: You can't have RW NBD images. Why do you want fat clients. For FAT clients with nbd you'd look at unionfs [what that does is this] R O F I ----> Write (say) the I. This is mirrored as RAM L Now all the FS is RO except the I which is RAM E S Y S But this is not LTSP. In your situation I actually don't know what I'd do. Explore what knoppix does, and knoppix may be a good fit for what you are trying to achieve. The are articles about knoppix on flash-mem sticks that will help you do what you want (ie to build something like NBD knoppix) James ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
