Heya I'm trying to get a SUSE 10.0 box here running as a LTSP-server, and it seems to be going quite well. Although, I have a couple of questions: It's prompting me for dhcpd.conf, do I need to run a dhcp-server on that machine for getting the ltsp-server and network boot on the client machine to work? And if I have to run a dhcp-server on that machine, can
Yes, or at least have one on the network. A card HAS to have an address, and if it is in a machine that gets it's OS from PXE or bootROM, it will need to get it's address from dhcp. There are also parameters that are specific to LTSP that get set from the dhcp server.
I use the ndiswrapper-card already working, or do I have to start the tedious process of install the bcm43xx-driver on that machine?(If that even works).
The best place to get answers for LTSP (also K12-LSTP) is from #ltsp on irc.freenode.net.
Jammcq is the head of the project and is there ALL the time. There are a bunch of very knowledgeable people in that channel, and it is one of the most friendliest I've seen toward noobs, or at least folks without network/PXE/ltsp experience.
LTSP is a WONDERFULL project that has not seen it full potential. I used it extensively for one of my projects, and can tell you from first hand experience, it KICKS ASS!
I recently updated my ltsp server to SuSE 10, and need to re-setup myself. So I don't have 10 experience with ltsp, but don't think it will be any problem at all.
B-)
Also, think about signing up for the LTSP list. The traffic isn't real heavy, and users repsond pretty quickly along with the LTSP guys. LTSP is great. I replaced my Sun Rays with this on Suse 10. I still runing the 4.1 version, but will move to 4.2 in next couple of weeks. Wasn't real difficult to set up.
