TC Server and clients

It boots from the Hard drive.

Hi guillaumetld
OK, unplug the USB drive, reboot, and see if your  netboot directory shows up now.
If it does, you might want to consider using the  tce  directory on the hard drive unless you have a
reason for using the one on the USB drive.

[guillaumetld]

The fact is I dont have any USB drive on this computer...

Hi guillaumetld
Now it all makes sense. Go to the  /mnt/hda1/boot/grub  (assuming your using grub) directory and
open the file  menu.lst
Replace  waitsub=5:UUID="ed0652c4-c513-46b0-8efc-56566fb900e1" tce=UUID="ed0652c4-c513-46b0-8efc-56566fb900e1"  with  tce=hda1  and reboot.

[guillaumetld]

no grub directory in /mnt/hda1/boot. only bzImage, extlinux (directory) and tinycore.gz

[Rich]

Hi guillaumetld
OK, go into the  extlinux  directory, the file is probably called  extlinux.conf

[guillaumetld]

Yes ! It works now !

Thank you VERY MUCH !

Hi guillaumetld
Glad to hear it.
On a side note, since you have persistent  /home  and  /opt  directories, you can remove any lines
that begin with  home  and  opt  from your  /opt/.filetool.lst  file if you don't want those directories
backed up and restored every time you reboot.

[guillaumetld]

In fact i have already did that, there is just my netboot entered in /opt/.filetool.lst

Hi !

A few other questions, should be easier ones.


How can i add a network printer ?
How can i change the right click menu on desktop ?

Thank you very much !

Hi guillaumetld
I'm pretty sure if you search the forum you will find information on those two topics.
If a search does not yield the required information, I recommend you start new threads for those
questions and leave this thread for workstation/server booting discussions.

Last question I hope.

I know how to load application like firefox with tc-terminal-server. For this i create a list with all apps i want, and i add this list in pxelinux.cfg at the APPEND line, using tftplist=(ipserver)/my.list

But i would like also to load each time some config files like ~/.jwmrc or /usr/share/wbar/dot.wbar for example.
Hot to do this ? Maybe create a boot script ?

You could put those in a separate initramfs, and load it after the main one (initrd=tinycore.gz,my.gz)

[guillaumetld]

So you mean that i have to had all the files i want in a .gz file, and add this file after the first one. But what happens after ?
I mean where will these files be ? I need for exemple to load directly my .jwmrc file and not use the default one.


Edit: I also think about remastering, in order to create my own image. Is it possible ? Difficult ? Can I modify my wbar and jwm desktop with remastering ?

The files in the latter initrd override the former. They'd be in their proper places in the latter initrd.
