Hello all
I have tried the instructions and it worked like a charm. I have booted
OpenSUSE 10.2 through PXE, both in a physical system and in a VM using
the free VMware Server. This is going to be great for me :-)
I plan to use this in a school to give students accounts in a central
server.
However, I am now looking for a way to chroot *all* my students so they
cannot "wander" outside /home (or a specified directory). I have
"googled" around and found various papers on chrooting one user, or ftp
access, etc., but haven't found an easy way to create and administer
50-80 users in a chrooted environment.
I plan to couple the chroot environment with Kiosk profiles to assign
different capabilities to groups of users.
I'll let you know if everything is going OK :-)
i'm sure that a modified netboot client could be written, but the resources
are a little thin right now. but I think it's a valuable idea and after we
finish the ltsp stuff , I'll ask that we look at that. then you can take the
hot seat lol
On a related topic. Could it be possible to "strip down" the start up
system to contain only the necessary files to boot a NX client and
connect to a NX server? I am playing with the free NX server in OpenSUSE
and the results in network speed and system responsiveness on various
linux clients are absolutely impressive.
¿Any hint out there?

I have just completed the first set of installation instructions for
LTSP
on Opensuse 10.2
Could I ask that those interested in using this give it a try.
Could I also ask the LTSP devs to give it a try. I know opensuse is
foreign
to most of you but your input on what is missing and what can be done
to finish it up would be deeply appreciated.
Cyberorg and I are in the #opensuse-kiwi forum at irc.freenode.net
daily starting around 6:30 am EST and there until somewhere around
noon. schaefi is the core dev for KIWI and he can be left messages in
the
forum
pertaining to things that need to be done to the chroot and kiwi in
general. --
