[K12OSN] Problem getting k12ltsp 4.2.0 to work.

[Kjell Andersson]

Hi!

I burned the CD images for 4.2.0 and installed them on a machine
with a 800 Mhz PIII 160 Mb ram 40Gb HDD and a 3com 905 TX card in it.
The client is a AMD 486 120 Mhz with 130 Mb RAM and a 8139D network card in it.
The machines is connected with a 10 Mbit hub wich i will change to a 100 Mbit swith later.
I used the rom-o-matic site to create a boot floppy for the client.
everythinglooks fine the client starts to boot up and talks to the server but 
when it get to the part where it tries to go to multisessionmode it hangs sometimes it 
goes as far as trying to start the xserver and then hangs.
Since i'm no pro at this i've been browsing the different sources for information.
what i have discovered is that XDMCP is not using GDM, KDM or XDM just using none !
Is this a big issue in my problems ? or is it the networkcard in the server ? i have seen 
that some people have had problems with those.
Please help me out with this !

Best regards Kjell Andersson
