Dear All,

following the advise from Les concerning CentOs - ltsp,
I'm now trying to set up a kickstart server, as I will have to install 14 ltsp servers.

I must admit the number 14 is not my only motivation, in a first attempt I downloaded 7 cd's -and got stuck
when installing from nr 6 , and made 2 attempts installing from the dvd.

So no more cd's for me.

I'm following this guide :  http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch25_:_Network-Based_Linux_Installation

and my problem is that I never worked with ftp before, so how could I download all the files that I see under

                           ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/K12LTSP/6.0.0-32bit/i386/

So far I only downloaded stuf if there was a download button around. :-[

Again any advise would be greatly appreciated.

greetings, James

thanks for the reply.

I'll just go back to CentOs 5.6 then.

Any chance you could point me to a wiki or guide to get ltsp installed
on CentOs 5.6?

Per the k12osn mail list, a public beta for the 6.x version is supposed 
to be close.  Watch the status at
https://fedorahosted.org/k12linux/wiki/EL6Status

For 5.x, if you are installing from scratch, I'd still use the respin at
ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/K12LTSP/5.0.0-EL-32bit/
and then do a yum update to current.  Or at least do this on a virtual 
machine with 2 nics to see how it works before trying to duplicate it. 
There are some scripts that make it work out of the box in the 2-nic 
configuration (a private net for booting clients and a LAN facing side 
with nat support for the private net).
