DIskless SUSE install
Can anybody point me in the right direction to building a setup that will allow me to use a diskless machine as a simple browser. Obviously I need a kernel with just the basic elements for an Via ITX computer, but what is the best way of providing a minimum set of graphics and a basic browser? I have got past the stage of getting the machine to download an image to boot from, now I need to build a more practical image :) -- Lester Caine ----------------------------- L.S.Caine Electronic Services

That is th4 right sort of info, but as I already have Apache/PHP and remote boot, it still looks a bit of overkill. But I will take a look ;) -- Lester Caine ----------------------------- L.S.Caine Electronic Services
Do anyone can help me to find the right Monitor (Model and codetype) to use SLE under IBM Thinkpad G40 Display? At moment I use a VESA Display
