Ok does the kiwi stuff actual work?
Been trying to get ltsp to work and have had very little joy.
Can't get netboot to work so the USB stick looks interesting.
The ubuntu docs seem a lot clear and nicer on how to add software to the image. So far all I get is error of diskless profile not found.
No clue why nothing in the docs
There is hardly anything to it: 1. 1-click installation of kiwi-ltsp-prebuilt (First 1-click link that says Recommended) 2. Change /etc/sysconfig/kiwi-ltsp according to your network setup 3. Run kiwi-ltsp-setup -c Boot up the clients. Cheers -J -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-edu+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-edu+help@opensuse.org

Sorry, this is wrong. Otherwise: please tell me how people should add a local Firefox to the image using just the steps you described above. Or add some special kernel-module to the client image.

The instructions above would be wrong if they do not work even after following all the procedure correctly. Idea of "prebuilt image" is that no rebuilding is required. Doing anything else requires bit more advanced knowledge. Running local application is not supported yet, so firefox installed in ltsp image is not going to work. To add kernel module the instructions are here: http://en.opensuse.org/LTSP and in /usr/share/doc/packages/kiwi/kiwi.pdf from kiwi-doc package. Adding kernel module in initrd is slightly more tricky, the package has to be added to the respective boot image description. /usr/share/kiwi/image/*boot/suse-<version>/config.xml md5sum has to be modified if anything is changed in boot image /usr/share/kiwi/image/*boot/suse-<version>/.checksum.md5 However users are not supposed to add anything to the boot images, in case someone requires a special module we have to get it incorporated in KIWI upstream.

Which is why I was asking for some docs on it

Well that just killed my plans for using kiwi-ltsp Any idea if/when it will? Otherwise it's of to ubuntu
To add kernel module the instructions are here: http://en.opensuse.org/LTSP and in /usr/share/doc/packages/kiwi/kiwi.pdf from kiwi-doc package.
Any idea if the yast gui for making kiwi images is going to include ltsp?
Adding kernel module in initrd is slightly more tricky, the package has to be added to the respective boot image description.
/usr/share/kiwi/image/*boot/suse-<version>/config.xml
md5sum has to be modified if anything is changed in boot image
/usr/share/kiwi/image/*boot/suse-<version>/.checksum.md5
However users are not supposed to add anything to the boot images, in case someone requires a special module we have to get it incorporated in KIWI upstream.
So a nice one size it's all then, does that mean that the prebuilt image rpm is going to get huge?

Running local application is not supported in Ubuntu either, as the support does not exist yet upstream, developers are working on it during this week's hackfest.

You can open ltsp config.xml in yast kiwi module.
Adding kernel module in initrd is slightly more tricky, the package has to be added to the respective boot image description.

You have not stated what exact problem you are having yet, the errors you are receiving, logs from the output when running kiwi-ltsp-setup commands. Also I am not clear what you are intending to do, are you trying to add kernel module to boot image? It would really be a lot easier if I had some more information to help you. I have created a quick start guide with troubleshooting information here: http://en.opensuse.org/LTSP_Quickstart Cheers -J -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-edu+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-edu+help@opensuse.org
