Re: [K12OSN] LTSP 3.1.2 questions

[Petre Scheie <petre maltzen net>]

Just a heads up for anyone using the Network Time Protocol on a machine: 
it's called as one of the system's startup scripts, and if the machine's 
connection to the Internet is down when the machine is booting, the 
machine will hang when it tries to load NTP.  I found this out the hard 
way.  To get around it, I rebooted with some sort of rescue disk (Tom's 
rootboot, knoppix, RedHat installation CD with 'linux rescue' passed on 
the command line, etc.) and then went in and disabled the NTP startup 
script, and then rebooted the box.
