Re: Force all clients to work as thin

[Francesco Parisi <fparisi@gmail.com>]

Thanks to all. As above suggested, I tried (on Virtualbox) :

1)  <URL: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Wheezy/HowTo/NetworkClients#Configuring_the_PXE_menu >
2)  <URL: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Wheezy/HowTo/NetworkClients#LTSP_client_type_selection >

but neither one seems to work. Anyway, with the latter hint the boot is very fast on client VM.

On the next week I'll try both "on the field".

Thanks again
