Boot options

[Giacomo Trovato]

Hi Jonathan,

thank you for the fast response.
Probably you are right: I had forgotten about the settings on lts.conf.
To have a workstation is related to another problem. I'm thinking to use an
LTSP workstation for the teacher but: is it possible to run Italc as master
on a workstation and not on the server?
Another question: what is the best manual partitioning scheme? I need to
know since I want to install on RAID1 (software).

Giacomo.
