Build

From thinstation

Build on your own box

First get Thinstation from sourceforge.

Select a suitable directory and unpack Thinstation-<version>.tar.gz

cd ~
tar xfz Thinstation-<version>.tar.gz
cd Thinstation-<version>

Next edit build.conf to reflect your client hardware. (sample)

Make it as simple as possible in the beginning, and then tune it and make it more complete once it works with a basic setup.

You can also set up your default configuration (ie. how it runs) in a thinstation.conf.buildtime file (you will have to make your own or copy your thinstation.conf.sample to thinstation.conf.buildtime, and then edit it).

Now you build the client image:

./build

The client images can be found in the boot-images/<type> directories (where type = etherboot, initrd, iso, loadlin, pxe & syslinux)
