sorry I have to go (its saturday here)
check out the readmes and that config I sent you, but change the =
storage path to something like
STORAGE_PATH=3D/mnt/disc0/part1
and make sure that is the valid parition
it will automatically create some files in there in a sub folder, if =
you want an setup file there which override things, call it =
thinstation.conf.user

Can you please instruct me a bit more on this issue :) (Im very =
thankfull for the info)
Let me se if I got this right:
I can store the IP, gateway aso on the local HDD (or network) using =
the storage option in the conf file. Can I make it to JUST get the ip, =
gateway aso info from the local host and get the rest from the server? I =
mean:
A regular user uses the standard setup, but some might need lower =
resolution on theyr screen. Then I can put a file on the server with the =
client with the IP integrated in the filename, and the client get the =
special made config?
Can you instruct me how to do this?
And can you show me how to get the other boot to work (how to boot =
with using mount, log on, copy, install aso) (when it do this it uses =
the standard config pulled of the server, and use the standard all the =
way.)
Hope you can help a lost linux dude here :)
Best Regards,
Aleksander Lyse

yes, that is correct, but that is only because of the storage =
medium choosen. you can also use smb/nfs or a harddisk (check out the =
STORAGE options in the .conf file).

But if I get this right I must have a floppy in the drive =
everytime it boots? well I got a HDD in every computer and wouldnt like =
to have a floppy in due to the error rate on the floppies.
And another question as well
Since you guys can linux.
a script that
1. Log on a windows 2003 server / domain with username and =
passord
2. Mount a network partition
3. Copy the thinclient boot images
4. install the image
5. saves the config first entered on the hdd
6. reboot the computer, and it is ready to go whitout floppy

but that's what the config I gave you DOES
the * represents a chooser, it allows you to choose the IP. =
please try the config below!!!
note, due to a bug, you must have at least two options, so you =
can't just have a star, I might get around to fixing this for 2.0.1, =
we'll see.

Well - yes. It could go in manualy, edit the file and boot - =
thats ok, but it would be easyer to just type it at install. Well if I =
could use a DCHP I would, but the crypto box prevent the DHCP connection =
to the closed nets (child care, hospitals aso) so I MUST use static.

that what the config I gave you did.
I'm a little confused, you want to define each machine IP =
individually, but you want a simple way to do it, but you don't want to =
use DHCP.

I need static IP on install and reboot so the IP first =

remembers what IP I insterted at install.

Does TS will be installed on local HD of PC ?
If yes, do you need to choose between DHCP or Static =
Address during install or at each reboot ?

Hi!
Jupp I looked at that, but it gets very difficult to =

to get a option about that one.

yep, you can, but not quite like that :o)
try below and remove the options you don't need
CUSTOM_CONFIG=3DOn
NET_USE_DHCP=3D"Off|On"
NET_IP_ADDRESS=3D"192.168.0.1|*"
NET_MASK=3D"255.255.255.0|*"

NET_DNS_SEARCH=3D"cartoons.org.nz|*"
NET_ALTERNATE_TFTP=3D"192.168.0.4|*"
if you want to save the setting to floppy so it =
doesn't ask you again
STORAGE_PATH=3D/mnt/floppy

Hi!
Jupp I've read the FAQ as that is said :)
Im working on a BIG rollout of metaframe clients =
for the Oslo region in Norway. We were using the regular citrix clients =
on on DOS background. The bad things about this was 1. Bad colors 2. no =
support for individual settings 3. bad install rutine.
The case is: We want to try the thinstation =
client and go the linux way, but we got some questions about a very =
important issue, and that is DHCP. On some locations there are what we =
call "secure" local networks. Altso a crypto box securing the net. We =
CANT get DHCP settings without a valid IP adress already defined on the =
box. The thing we want are a addon or possibile to make this staging:
1. We put a floppy in the floppystation
2. The floppy boots, and ask 1. Use a DHCP 2. =
Use a static IP
When you press 1 it boots with networkboot
When you press 2 you can push the IP and =
gateway.
The floppy then register the computer on the net =
as a user (regular network boot) and map a network drive where it =
download the boot images and other required files.
Then the software get installed, and I can =
define the IP and gateway manualy for further use, but still the client =
get rest of the settings from the server.
Can this be done? I think MANY would like to se =
this, and I would!
Please help me out here! Im realy stuck here!

Aleksander Lyse
