If using thinclients, after the first terminal configuration here, IPBrick will need a LTSP boot system and a operating system. The boot system (kernel) will be loaded into the thinclients memory.
Boot Systems
To load Boot systems (Kernel) click on kernel link (Figure 3.59). The following fields are displayed:
Boot system configuration:
Description: Kernel text description;
Boot loader: It will be selected later;
Kernel: If you click Archive you should select the Kernel file from the above link.
In the next step you have to choose the boot loader. If the thinclients support PXE boot, choose the following boot loader /pxelinux.0 (Figure 3.60).
Operating Systems
To load the Operating System you have to click in top menu on OS (Figure 3.61), and after that click insert to display the following options:
Description: Description of the operating system;
Operating system: If you click Archive you should select the OS version to run.
The Kernel and Operating System files should be downloaded at:
http://downloads.ipbrick.com/IPBrick/download/ltsp/
For IPBrick 5.0 you need to download the files:
debian_ltsp5_BOOT_final.tgz debian_ltsp5_OS_final.tgz
For older versions of IPBrick you need the files root.tgz (OS) and 2.6.9-ltsp-3.tgz (Boot system). A full configuration example to boot from a PXE thinclient can be viewed at Figure 3.62.
