[K12OSN] The best of two worlds

[Morten Gausland]

Thanks for the tip. I'll probably try to do a complete fedora 6 installation
with 1 fileserver/ldap etc., and the K12LTSP on a separate server. Before
deleting my skolelinux installation from my 2 servers, I'd like to play
around with it some. I need an advice:

I have a neoware c50, that "just works" on a K12LTSP fresh installation,
with no changes made. When I try the same client on skolelinux (debian edu)
it does not work (screen goes into "sleep" mode just when loginscreen is
supposed to come up). I have attached:

Skolelinux.txt -> syslog when trying to boot on debian
K12LTSP.txt -> syslog when booting (successfully) on the K12LTSP

Some of the messages displayed when booting:

----------------------------------------
PXELINUX 3.31 Debian-2007-03-09 ...

----------------------------------------

Have also done the same test with a thin-PC with identical result (did not
compare the logs though).

Does anyone know enough of the debian edu (skolelinux 3.0) to give me some
advice on what the difference between the 2 systems might be? I have already
asked this question on the skolelinux mailing-list (the norwegian one), and
had no useful feedback. I tried using the same lts.conf on debian as I have
on fedora, with no change.

Thanks in advance.

Morten

Maybe this helps you somehow or give to you some ideas:

"Howto Set Up and LDAP server and client in any flavor of Ubuntu Feisty
7.04 along with administration via Webmin (General procedure should work for
other Linux flavors and versions, but package names along with user groups
and config file locations may be slightly different)."
