Ah, ok. I could not find much information about that model in the
net given that HPs acquisition of Neoware completely removed all
older documentation... :-\

It's got a 300 MHz CPU and 32 MB RAM (probably SD-RAM, SO-DIMM), right?

Removing packages does not really save *much* RAM, because the packages
are not downloaded completely, but simply mounted as SquashFS images
via NFS, so the overhead per package should be small.

Required packages would be:
- base (the linux)
- openthinclient-* (the server parts)
- initscripts-tcos (without that the tc would not get configured)
- python-tcos (supplies LDAP access functions etc.)

That should suffice.

You would also need the rdesktop-package.

Hmmm, the OpenThinClient distribution is more suited for the current
hardware generation (128+ MB RAM, 800+ MHz), but if you add enough
RAM, the rdesktop connection should be ok even with 300 MHz.
