Boot and Operating System

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 3.67). The following fields are displayed:

Operating Systems

To load the Operating System you have to click in top menu on OS (Figure 3.69), and after that click insert to display the following options:

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 3.70.
