hi, it seems there are some testers out there willing to destroy all data on there flash devices ;-). there you go:
i just uploaded the package "localboot" to unstable. this package is still buggy and might be rewritten but should work for compact flashes (USB-sticks are untested). it basically prepares the device and copies files and some settings to disk. you still need at least the openthinclient ldap server running for fetching configuration data if you boot locally. so if you want to do some localboot tests: - uncomment the manager-unstable line in: ...\openthinclient\server\default\data\nfs\root\etc\sources.list and save file - start the openthinclient manager, search for updates and install package "localboot" - add and configure the localboot application - assign it to "administrator" (the only user that is able to execute it) - start a thin client (via PXE), login as administrator and execute the application - cross your fingers ;-) - reboot thin client and change BIOS or PXE-ROM settings to boot from local devices the default configuration prepares the thin client to boot without PXE/TFTP. "system data -> local" will copy all installed packages to the local device. you can not write to the device if you did a local boot, you have to switch to PXE boot to rewrite the device. have fun, martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
