Diskless workstations enabled by default with netinst CD
I did some test installations today, and am happy to report that the
diskless workstation environment is now enabled by default during
installation when installing the main-server+thin-client-server
combination using the netinst CD (lenny-test).
I have not tested if the PXE booting of these clients work, as I lack
the test environment for this. But the ltsp-make-client script run
successfully during installation, and fill /opt/ltsp/i386 with
packages and configuration. I suspect the resolv.conf file in the
LTSP environment is broken, but that is fairly easy to fix after
installation.
I also tested DVD installation, but that still have issues.
For some strange reason, cfengine seem to run ltsp-make-client twice
during installation. The first one succeeds, while the second fail.
The last failure should be non-fatal, but I would welcome explanation
why and a fix to avoid this double execution.
What is left for the alpha release of the netinst CD?
Happy hacking,
