Could you let me have a specification (board's name etc.) I could look 
up in my shops here? That would be helpful.

We have a bunch of Dell Optiplex P III running here, but with 512 MB RAM 
they do not work at all under LTSP 5. So I kept on using LTSP 4.2 and 
plan to change as soon as we get some new hardware (see above :-) )

I tried a lot of tricks (including switching off ssl), but even with a 
lot of RAM, PIIIs will boot so slowly (min. 2 minutes up to login screen 
vs. ~20 sec. for LTSP 4.2) that I decided not to follow any further. 
Maybe I did anything wrong?

Thanks for any tip!
