It would be useful to see the actual error messages, particularly the last ones on the screen of the thin clients. Other things to check is that the thin client actually mounts the root file system, that should be in the syslog on tjener.intern. You could also check with exportfs -v that the NFS server exports what you expect it to do. > > Should I try to reinstall ltsp (from skolelinux/ubuntu/sid/... > sources)? If you moved the /opt/ltsp/i386 contents back to the right place, then there is no need to reinstall. -- Med vennlig hilsen Ragnar Wisløff -------------- life is a reach. then you gybe. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
