<br>
</div>You can have many LTSP environment for thin client, but you need the<br>
static dhcp for many filename<br>
<br>
Example the /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf I create a group with option for kiosk mode<br>
<br>
# test LTSP<br>
group {<br>
option root-path "/opt/ltsp/kiosk"; <==== the kiosk mode LTSP<br>
environnment for all PC in the group<br>
next-server <a href="http://195.221.40.200" target="_blank">195.221.40.200</a>;<br>
filename "/ltsp/kiosk/pxelinux.0";<br>
# PC (Salle multimedia) prof<br>
host lnt-d00048 {<br>
hardware ethernet 00:1a:a0:34:43:dc;<br>
fixed-address <a href="http://195.221.40.20" target="_blank">195.221.40.20</a>;<br>
}<br>
# PC (Salle multimedia) eleve 1<br>
host lnt-d00050 {<br>
hardware ethernet 00:1a:a0:34:44:af;<br>
fixed-address <a href="http://195.221.40.21" target="_blank">195.221.40.21</a>;<br>
}<br>
<br>
And for other method, you set the filename for every PC:<br>
host test-ltsp1 {<br>
next-server <a href="http://195.221.40.200" target="_blank">195.221.40.200</a>;<br>
filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0";<br>
option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386"; <==== the standard LTSP environnment<br>
hardware ethernet 00:0c:29:27:ec:22;<br>
fixed-address <a href="http://192.168.62.170" target="_blank">192.168.62.170</a>;<br>
}<br>
# adresse pour test LTSP<br>
host test-ltsp2 {<br>
option root-path "/opt/ltsp/fati386"; <==== the fat client LTSP<br>
environnment<br>
next-server <a href="http://195.221.40.200" target="_blank">195.221.40.200</a>;<br>
filename "/ltsp/fati386/pxelinux.0";<br>
hardware ethernet 00:0c:29:c6:98:9d;<br>
fixed-address <a href="http://192.168.62.171" target="_blank">192.168.62.171</a>;<br>
}<br>
<br>
And all PC use the same LTSP server<br>
<br>
# ls /opt/ltsp/<br>
fati386<br>
i386<br>
kiosk<br>
<br>
# ls /opt/ltsp/images<br>
fati386.img<br>
i386.img<br>
kiosk.img<br>
<br>
etc etc<br>
