Hi

I downloaded the latest lbe from cvs today. In order to build the
cx5530-audio package I needed to update the makefile with a newer kernel
version number. The update is attached. 

Thank you for a marvellous product.

Thanks
Rasmus Ory Nielsen

Revised patch to use X_DPMS = Y/N.  Defaults to Y.  Separated the
patches, and used 'diff -Naur' so the diffs will work with patch.

Here's a patch against the lbe that will let you put DPMS settings for
your terminals in lts.conf.  The changes are to build_x4_cfg and
lts.conf.readme.

This adds four new settings to lts.conf:
X_DPMS (TRUE or FALSE)
X_DPMS_STANDBYTIME (integer, in minutes)
X_DPMS_SUSPENDTIME (integer, in minutes)
X_DPMS_OFFTIME (integer, in minutes)


This lets you turn monitors off when they aren't being used without
needing xscreensaver.

I just installed LTSP 4.1 and got it up and running on a J-225 
workstation. It works great. As far as I can tell LTSP rules. Keep up 
the good work.

I did have a problem installing my ELO touchscreen. It turns out that 
build_x4_cfg has a "bug" in it. In the InputDevice section for the 
elographics device it defines the X_TOUCH_MAXX and X_TOUCH_MINX as 
MaximumXPosition and MinimumXPosition (and like for Y). It turns out it 
should be MinX and MaxX (and likewise for Y) or it doesn't work. It took 
me a couple hours to track that down.

Also, the documentation should be updated to take devfs into account. 
The documentation uses ttyS0 as an example for a touch monitor (and 
several other places I might add). This device doesn't exist (by 
default). It should be /dev/tts/1.

This is similar to what I've done (for other stuff), and what I would do:

Server with a 'normal' FS all in RAM.
Network boot initrd + root fs image
Users home NFS to a disk'd server

You get fast operation from ram disk operation
Say 1 G of root FS (I've done only 128M)
IMHO there is no no benefit from NFS'ing the server's FS so it can NFS
that to clients.
Robust - every time the servers wake they are exactly the same.
You can do all development / testing on a disk before migrating a
working system to RAM.

look for paul moodie diskless howto - telecom rack maintenance with WWW
browsing to fix / monitor.

I can give you mkird and mkroot scripts if you want.

Folks,

For sites which use a number of LTSP servers, I'm currently looking at 
applying the LTSP principle to the servers and making them run diskless.  The 
idea is that LTSP servers, like WTS servers are just a farm of servers to 
support as many users as the processor and RAM will allow.  All the servers 
should be the same as this minimises support costs.  Also, you can remove the 
HDDs from the servers, which reduces the cost of the hardware and is less 
components to break.  Also if all servers use a central file store, then they 
can all be kept consistant.  When adding a new server, you just plug it in 
and it's ready to go.

Has anyone done this before?  Are there any implementations?  I am currently 
in the process of knocking this together but have a few questions.

What should one do with /var?  I am thinking of making it a RAM disk, but 
can't work out how to build the directory structure in the RAM disk.  Would 
it be better on disk?  Which bits of /var are written to?

What should one do with /dev?  I understand each server needs there own /dev?  
I've heard it can be either done with a disk or devfs?

Finally how do I get DHCPcd working?  I have a DHCP enabled kernel for 
mounting the NFS root fs, but it is very limited and cannot pick up things 
like a hostname.  I understand I need to run DHCPcd in userspace.  What is 
the best way of doing this?

Regards,
Mike.
