If using thin clients, after the first terminal configuration here, IPBrick will need a LTSP boot system and an operating system. The boot system (kernel) will be loaded into the thin clients memory.
Boot Systems
To load Boot systems (Kernel) click on kernel link (Figure 3.79). 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 thin clients support PXE boot, choose the following boot loader /pxelinux.0 (Figure 3.80).
Operating Systems
To load the Operating System you have to click in top menu on OS (Figure 3.81), 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.
