LTSP is easy, but you need to do it right. I can get LTSP up-n-running in 30 min. The apt-get solution is experimental and mostly does not work.
What "apt-get solution"? The LTSP package? Do not go for ltsp-5 (experimental, read about muekow for more info) Actually I followed the muekow page, maybe that's the source of my failure - I now see that indeed it's listed under the "LTSP 5" section. 1) get the ltsp-utils package
http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/DownLoads I've only done the tgz, I'm sure the ltsp-utils_0.25_all.deb works too.
Already had it on my system. 2) Run ltspadmin
See http://ltsp.mirrors.tds.net/pub/ltsp/docs/ltsp-4.1-en.html#AEN320
Already created a "client instance" for the laptop. It works, its easy and it's good n fast. I guess the hardest part is
configuring DHCP. Since you've already done stuff this is more-of-the-same. James PS I've done 100s (all sorts of machines) and never had a failure!
Including loadlin -based booting? It seems that LTSP only caters for Etherboot/PXE. Cheers, --Amos -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
