> Jim...ok..can you take a machine with os7.6.1 on it...In my setup we have
> 600meg hard drives..i use half for macos and leave the other for swaop
> space..it is not necessary to do this..Once yo have 7.6.1 (even 7.5.3 will
> work) you need to have stuffit expander on the client as well. stuffit
> expander needs to have its preference set to expand to a folder on the
> Macintosh 
> 
> ..i start appletalk on a linux machine (a pc is fine)and create a user named
> ltsp with password ltsp and put machkernelskipslatest.gz in it. Then from
> the chooser i connect to the linux machine as ltsp pw ltsp.. i drop
> machkernelskipslatest.gz on stuffit and it unpacks (hopefully cleanly) on
> to the mac as machkernelskipslatest.. i rename it to Mach Kernel and put it
> in extensions folder..
> 
> the mklinux booter has four pieces you need..the controlpanel goes in
> control panel..lilo.conf and mklinus.prefs go in preference..mklinux booter
> goes in extensions as well..

> That should set up the Macintosh to double boot...check to be sure that
> lilo.conf has these options
> rootdev=/dev/ram
> mach_options=ramdisk=8192

> in it is designed to use normal dhcp on port 67/68. Lets try that for now..
> then set up the server.. which can be any pc using regular ltsp..
