[K12OSN] logging in as root

[Huck]

Yes...
in bios...set it to boot from the network card...
or if you get the option sometimes F12 or something during 
bootup...choose Network Boot as the method..
and it SHOULD just come up with the GUI login window.

assuming firewalls are turned off and you have eth0 plugged into the 
same switch as the 'thin client'...and eth1 NOT plugged into the same 
switch ;)
