Hi Zied,<br><br>As a teacher who 'figured it out' on installing and setting up a thin client server (and now a fat client server the last 2 years) I would NOT recommend having teachers set them up--even with scripts there are decisions to be made that teachers might not have the background to answer. What I ended up doing was setting up the server just the way I wanted it, then using clonezilla, made a clone of it and cloned it onto other servers. I did have to specify a few settings for each server afterwards but they weren't too much, things like changing /etc/hosts etc. But, if you know how to create/adjust scripts, I believe that in Greece they use a script to set up the servers but you would have to customize the scripts to your situation/setting.<br>
<br>BTW, I would recommend looking into using fatclients not thin clients if your machines are at least Pentium IV 2.2 GHz or better with a gig of RAM--that's what I use as my minimum standard for fat clients. If you have about that but only 512 megs of RAM that is more borderline and then I might select localapps which is basically thin clients but you can tell which programs should run on the machine locally.<br>
<br>Good luck,<br>David G.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Feb 27, 2012 at 8:51 AM, Zied ALAYA <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:zied.alaya@ubuntu.com">zied.alaya@ubuntu.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

</div>Please, be more specific.<br>
What does it mean didn't work?<br>
Does the installation process stop? If yes, at what point?<br>
Give also some hardware details of the server.<br><br></blockquote></div><br><br></div>Using the default DVD (from official download) the server "just" works after installation and thin client boot & work.<br>
due to some problems, we generated an up to date DVD.<br>
using the new DVD, the installation don't stop and it boots correctly.<br>The server works very well as a stand alone workstation.<br>But thin client did not boot at all !<br><br>so I'm asking if there a simple howto (for me) or some script so I can give it to teachers and help them to learn how to install by themselve.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br clear="all">
