<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I
hope one of you guys can help a Linux virgin as they say ??</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Whilst trying to learn a bit more about Linux i
decided to try installing k12 on a small spare server at school.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All was well and ok until i tried to access
via a "thin client" which is actually just another pc booted from
Etherboot... </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The thin client finds the server, gets an ip
number, and starts loading the kernel</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Everything looks good at this point !! and TUX
appears in the top lefthand corner of the screen..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>THEN Just after the message appears

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Error!! No root-path, Check dhcp config etc etc
etc..""</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The beasty hangs on me...!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have looked at the dhcp config and cannot see a
problem. the option root-path appears to be specified ok???</FONT></DIV>
