Hi, With help from Zabil, the LTSP setup is working fine. Currently we have 5 diskless clients and 4 legacy windows mc. The windows mc have the option of booting from floppy and becoming LTSP clients. So in total there are 9 clients.
The only thing left is to make the cabling neater. Expecting to be done by Friday. The only thing that did not work was the scanner. I bought the Benq4300 USB scanner but it does not work. On invoking "sane" I get device io error.
Internet is not yet up as I am waiting for BSNL to install the modem. We are getting a 256Kb broadband for Rs500 per month.(DataOne scheme)
The next focus is on what we would like to teach and collecting the materials for it. I will be leaving Blore on March 10th and so the coming weekend is the last one I have. Please send me any useful links (also the one with the material Hearald has done). If possible I would like to get together this coming weekend to come with a syllabus for the school.
Also can you forward this email to other linux users in Blore. They are welcome to come to the school anytime and also over the weekend to look at the setup. They can call me at 9341455165 for directions. I think this is the first LTSP setup in Blore (I love to be wrong) and so a little bit of awareness would help others.
with regards sanjeev
