That quickly gets out of my depth. If there is a 32-bit kernel that
supports that much RAM, I don't know about it.<br>
<br>
But on the other point, I vaguely recall that under the classic LTSP
setup, there was a provision for using a single NIC.<br>
<br>
It could be that your hardware (client and server) indicates that
classic LTSP is your best fit.<br>

You could sign up for the LTSP mail list at <a
href="http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ltsp-discuss">http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ltsp-discuss</a>
and probably get more expansive and precise advice.<br>

Hello. I'm finally replacing my single nic 10.04
Ubontu LTSP classroom server with a new box. I have
found Alkis' writeup on how to do a single nic
install. My new system is a 64 bit box and I wonder
how I should generate an i386 image for my classroom
clients?<br>
<br>
Here's the page that I've been following:<br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ltsp-pnp"
target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ltsp-pnp</a><br>
<br>
The instruction:<br>
<br>
ltsp-config lts.conf<br>
<br>
generates /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/amd64/lts.conf ... a
64 bit labeled file<br>
<br>
ltsp-update-image --arch i386 doesn't work as the
--arch isn't recognized...<br>
/usr/sbin/ltsp-update-image: unrecognized option
'--arch'<br>
<br>
Also, I suppose the procedure only works with a 32 bit
system as the ltsp.conf file listed refers to-<br>
<br>
gedit /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf<br>
<br>
I sure could use some suggestions. I had already
ordered the parts for a new server and they arrived
last Friday. I rebuilt an image on my old Ubuntu
server on Monday that includes the mit app inventor.
I powered the machine off after the image was created
to blow it out only to discover that the power supply
was bad and already fried part of the motherboard. I
had been running it headless and hadn't noticed the
video was gone. I did notice a smell last week
though... $@#@%@<br>
<br>
At least I have the new parts and I'm close to being
back up.<br>
<br>
Thank everyone<br>

If you use the LTSP-PNP setup, your client and server
installation architectures have to match. So if your
clients need i386, then you have to install Ubuntu i386 on
the server as well.<br>
<br>
If you really want x64 on the server, then you have to use
the classic LTSP setup with a chroot environment and i386
installed there in order to generate an i386 client image.<br>
