- it should get its IP number from the dhcp server
- it will mount the root directory
- it will complain that the private directory does not exist
- it will try to create it (/var/xterminals must be writable
at this point).
- if it succeed, it will suggest to run the xconf scripts.
- the xconf script ask you for the partition where to create
the swap file. The kit assumes that X terminals are
old Dos/Windows machine and will set a swap in the DOS
partition. It is needed for machine with 4 megs and
recommended for machine with 8, although it should probably
not swap.
- After few question, the RedHat Xconfigurator is started
to configure X.
- once the xconf script is completed, reboot
- the reboot should now
- see the private directory and mount it
- setup the missing swap file in the previously
selected partition
- run the xgo script and there you are with a
graphical login.
On the server you must run xdm (X display manager). This is normally
done by selecting runlevel 5 (for graphic + network mode in linuxconf). If
you do not intend to run X on the server itself, go in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers
and comment out the :0 ... line
This kit is fairly new and some polishing is needed, but you should
be able to install a bunch of X terminals without having to hand edit
anything.
