That would work, putting the boot parts and minimal os on a usb stick then connecting to ltsp for users but that stops being ltsp alltogether. Ltsp just isnt wireless able for a simple reason no pxe in wireless cards, and i doubt there will ever be. Anyway cabling allows for usable fast gigabit clients and its not the end of the world to rely on cabling <div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 14, 2012 6:26 PM, "Sergio Chaves" <<a href="mailto:sergio.chaves@gmail.com">sergio.chaves@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Barry, I downloaded this file from the Ubuntu list long ago.

I have posted this before but no real "this works out of the box' responses. At this point in order to use k12linux/k12ltsp I have to have wireless a possible even if throughput will be marginal. Without this in a school setting I feel k12linux/k12ltsp is not a viable/possible alternative. I was hoping someone at this point(much smarter than I) would have been able to dump some minimal boot code,even into a bios ,on top of pxe, to make this happen,,as an option in bios settings of the TC for example. After having messed a few minutes with an NComputing TC this is basically what they use, albeit to a wired network to come up to a splash screen to set the server you would like to connect to. I guess very much the same as k12linux/k12ltsp, bottom line ,only at bios level. We do have several TC's that I can burn a minimal ' wireless bootup distro' onto SD cards to test with.
