The initial ram disk contains software to NFS mount the server and to execute the LTSP software via NFS. The X server the client runs, for example, is located on the NFS share. PXES is self-contained, the boot image contains all of the software needed, including the X server. NFS is not used at all (and since the LTSP software is *only* on NFS, PXES never uses the LTSP software). When you boot via floppy, are you using a LTSP or a PXES image? If you are getting hotplug errors, it must be PXES since LTSP does not include hotplug... Could you post your /etc/dhcpd.conf? That'll help us figure out exactly what software is running. -Eric _______________________________________________ K12OSN mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:K12OSN@redhat.com">K12OSN@redhat.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</a> For more info see <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.k12os.org"><http://www.k12os.org></a> </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">Hi Eric, I rebuilt the system and found two problems, bad cat5 cable & flawed floppy hence the other issues. So now it starts but when the WS logs in I get what started the whole issue of testing "upgrading" the system.
