hi all..... OckerHill LTSP case study at:- http://people.redhat.com/mherbert --------------------------------- key issues:- - 386/486 are ok in theory, but usually in practice defeated by the Graphics cards. Go for P75 minimum - 16Mb RAM is ok, but StarOffice, GIMP and window movement can be 'blocky'. 32Mb no problem - 3c509 network cards (10Mb) are great, can supply them, with bootroms via Sandwell LEA - LTSP servers _do_ need tuning....file max in particular - look to use the latest K12LTSP release (currently Gamma) or the recent LTS_3.0 release (RPM's). Both good - LTSP solutions can be provided commercially and as a _managed service_ but not in the Becta sense by a number of companies, names and addresses supplied off list is it worth organising another workshop in Sandwell ? try to make it free, bring you own servers and clients and see what we can get working?

Hmm. I know what you mean (I think). I had trouble - the clients kept saying 'Non-system boot disk' or would get stuck very early on. Two things:
I reverted to new disks - much better.
I think the floppy drive in my server wasn't A1, so I used another machine. It kept making useless disks. I used another machine - sorted.
The command is:
cat /image_to_use > /dev/fd0
Some sites left out the ">", but I put it in, as recommended by other sites.
HTH
