Yes, but if I'm not mistaken, you may still have to make some modifications to take advantage of your distro's support. For example, I have a working Ubuntu 10.04 environment, and just last week I tried to boot my first nvidia-based client, and had to do the following to get it to use the nvidia binaries. 1. Install nvidia-glx-current in the chroot 2. On the running nvidia client, do 'nvidia-xconfig' in the shell 3. Copy the generated xorg.conf from the running client to the chroot 4. Rebuild the client image. At this point my nvidia-based client would boot and use the nvidia driver, but my non-nvidia clients were now broken because they were trying to use the same driver. The solution was to build a separate chroot for nvidia and non-nvidia clients, and use dhcp to sort them out. Maybe there's a way using lts.conf to use a single chroot and just point the client to the correct xorg.conf, but I was following Asmo's guide, and it worked well enough. As an added bonus, the non-nvidia clients get to load a smaller image because it lacks the larger nvidia drivers. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/AtomIon db ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.
