Single NIC LTSP install using Alkis Georgopoulos' UbuntuLTSP/ltsp-pnp page

[Jim Christiansen]

Thanks, John.  I'll need to search on how to get a single nic to work with
the current 64 install or...  What kernel can I use to run a 32 bit system
with more than 4 gigs ram?  My new box is running 32 gigs ram.
