Re: [Thinstation-general] Group boot filenames in 2.0

Configuring Thinstation

Any client configuration is done in a thinstation.conf file. It is 
possible to have multiple thinstation.confs but they are all just copies 
or subsets (!) of thinstation.conf.example.

    * thinstation.conf.buildtime is the one with hardwired configuration. 
If no more config files is found, this one rules. This is the important 
file for booting off local media.
    * thinstation.conf.network is the default config file on the TFTPD in 
the TFTPD root directory. Overrules thinstation.conf.buildtime.
    * thinstation.conf.<group-id> is a unique config file for a group of 
PCs (e.g. all those with printers or all those with large screens.  
Overrules thinstation.conf.network. Requires that you make  a 
thinstation.hosts file that map MAC-addresses with host names.
    * thinstation.conf-hostname is a unique config file for the PC <host 
name>. Overrules thinstation.conf.network and thinstation.conf.<group-id>. 
Requires that you make  a thinstation.hosts file that map MAC-addresses 
with host names.
    * thinstation.conf-<IP number> is a unique config file for the PC with 
the <IP number>. Overrules everything above.
    * thinstation.conf-<MAC address> is a unique config file for the PC 
with the <MAC address>. Overrules everything above.
    * thinstation.conf.user is the config file for a PC read off a local 
media. Requires CUSTOM_CONFIG and STORAGE_PATH to be set correctly in 
thinstation.conf.buildtime.

Beware you can't add features in a thinstation.conf not already build into 
the image (pre-built or defined by your own build by build.conf)!
