LTSP 5 and fedora 8

Since my involvement with Bijra High school project and working with ltsp , I am simply loving this thing . So i started playing with it . This is my first post .. more to come gradually .

Installation .

Ltsp 5 has still not being integrated to fedora. I downloaded the tarball of LTSP 5 from here .{http://ltsp.mirrors.tds.net/pub/ltsp/ltsp-5.0/ltsp_ubuntu_6.10_i386-2.tar.bz2}

This made primarily for ubuntu 6.10 but it works with fedora.

In order to install

1) TFTP, DHCP, NFS and SSH server are needed

2) ltsp-update -kernels package is needed . it is found here .{http://ltsp.mirrors.tds.net/pub/ltsp/ltsp-5.0/ltsp-update-kernels-2.tar.bz2}
This will copy the kernels from the ltsp tree to a place where your TFTP server can get them.

3) ltsp-update-sshkeys package is needed . It is found here
{ http://ltsp.mirrors.tds.net/pub/ltsp/ltsp-5.0/ltsp-update-sshkeys-2.tar.bz2}

This simply sets up the ssh_known_hosts file to know about the server.

4) The compresses archive is needed to be unpacked in directory (/opt here ) .

5) unpack the other two packages and run the scripts.

6) NFS and DHCP are configured .

7) Things to take care of :-

a) making sure of /etc/exports file containing an entry for /opt/ltsp .
b) making sure to have the right filename and root-path entries to point to the right kernel and ltsp tree in /etc/dhcpd.conf
