Re: [Ltsp-discuss] server setup

[Jim M. <jam@McQuil.com>]

Andrew,

the 'next-server' option in dhcpd is to tell the client where to go, to 
get the kernel. It has nothing to do with accessing cdrom drives.

You could probably access the cdrom drive from another machine using 
NFS, but it's going to be rather clumsy.  Once you mount the drive with 
NFS, you won't be able to eject the CD, to put a different disk in.    
You might play with Samba and smbfs, to mount it that way.
