hello again,

+ slow booting depending on my laptop => other PCs boot much quicker
+ local device support is working in /tmp/.$USER-ltspfs
-no (pdf) manual found on the server (maybe you offer me a separate link for downloading ?!)

at least something strange happed:
after updating the Server (OpenSuSE 10.3) via “opensuse updater” the local sound is gone away => Sound is now playing directly from the Server

When you plugin USB stick or cd/dvd, they appear in /tmp/.$USER-ltspfs

Slow booting is an issue I don’t know how to address, there are a lot of things kiwi initrd does, we need to optimize it further.

See http://en.opensuse.org/LTSP “Customizing thin client behaviour” section for lts.conf parameters

kiwi.pdf is probably in the kiwi-doc package.

Thanks for testing

hi,
server installation is pretty easy!
(my Serverhardware AMD 3500+ / 2GB RAM / 10/100/1000 NIC)

but …..
- booting diskless client is really slow => 2 minutes to grafical login
(my diskless client, a loptpop = laptop celeron 1500 / 512 RAM / realtek 10/100 NIC)
+ starting openoffice => fast
+ Sound => OK
- no local device support

? where can the parameter list for lts.conf be found ?
(there is no PDF dokument in /usr/share/doc/packages/kiwi)

please, in such note, give a two line explanation of what you are speaking about. this seems great, but I have no idea of what is LSTP and shouldn’t have to search google :-))

(this is just an enhancement request, not a bugreport :-))
