Hello!!
First I´ve had the same problem. So I tell you how I solved the prob for ME.
At the first time as you recognized, the clients have to be converted by the
admin over the manager on the thinclient server. So as I raed, you have done
that point.
When your client pc starts you have to decide whether you want to boot from hdd
or boot over the network by pushing a key, mostly "F8" or "F11", BEFORE the pc
tries to boot...
But that was not the only problem for me. In my case the main prob was the
DHCP-Server. You have to take care to let the dhcp work with "bootp"-option.
With that the clients AND the server are able to resolve an IP-adress WITHOUT
an OS.
After two or three attempts of booting the client it was now possible.
Greetings,
Daniel

Subject: [openthinclient-user] getting started
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get started with this. I am at
a loss!
I've managed to get openthinclient manager onto the server. I've managed to
'see' the pxe clients and converted them into thin clients, but now don't know
how to boot up the thin client to the server.
One client didn't have an OS on it but it just hangs on the boot up and the
other had Windows XP on and just boots normally. How to I get it to boot to
the Openthinclient?
All the above sounds like I am a complete newby and have no idea what I am
doing, and you would be right! Please help!
I need a tutorial at a very basic level to get me started with this.
Many thanks
PWest
