Downloading to an NFS-exported directory and burning only the first CD which you boot with 'linux askmethod' at the boot prompt is probably the easiest approach. However there are still some alternatives. If you have a small USB flash drive and your server will boot from USB there is a 6+meg image that you can use. You have to copy this in image mode so it will wipe out anything already on the flash though. If you happen to have an old compact flash (etc.) that came with a camera and is now too small to consider using, it will work for this with a matching USB adapter. There is also a pxe-bootable install kernel that shouldn't be too hard to glue into the ltsp framework. You can get to these without burning the CD by mounting the first .iso file somewhere with the '-o loop' option in the mount command. --- Les Mikesell <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:les@futuresource.com">les@futuresource.com</a> </pre> </blockquote> Hi Les, Thanks, but I'll download the CDs since I want to try it on a couple of different test machines. norbert </body> </html>
