• I have been digging through ubuntu, edubuntu and have been finding about the mkinitramfs, mkisofs commands, netbootings, audio, and more. I haved had to reinstall ubuntu 4 times because I really screwed it up. but latly it's been going good. i am trying to get mythtv installed and then i will burn a cd of it. I have been using FASM on Windows 95 and I now have a copy of FASM for linux. I have been working on getting my Intel 537 Modem to work, but no luck, even after i got the driver to couple and load into memeory. there is more to this I think. here is some of my learnings, enjoy!!

My Findings on LTSP, Networking and more.

• As you may already know the LTSP Server doesen't support localmedia or harddrives. I have been digging into the LTSP root directory and config files. In the /dev folder there is no block device for hda or hdc the most common names for the first hard drive and CD-ROM drives. so I did a chroot into the i386 root directory. I will show you all of the instructions to the best

note

the following information may incress the ram requirements along with incressing the /opt/ltsp/i386 folder from 321 MB to about 400 MB it can also defeat some of the things in the other LTSP Documents. youmight want to take a look at the other documents.

chroot /opt/ltsp/i386
root@server001:/ cd /dev 
root@server001:/dev 
root@server001:/dev MAKEDEV hda
/sbin/MAKEDEV warning: can't read /proc/devices
root@server002:/dev MAKEDEV hdc
/sbin/MAKEDEV warning: can't read /proc/devices 

I will continue on this later
