Assuming your server and clients are properly configured, it is just a matter to insert the floppy
in the workstations and reboot. At boot time, the etherboot will find and initialize the NIC. It
will broadcast a dhcp request along with the MAC address of the workstation. The server will pick up the
dhcp request and look into its dhcpd.conf file to find a match for the MAC address of the station,
and will then send a dhcp reply if the MAC address is found. The reply will contain:
The kernel will be downloaded next followed by root filesystem mounting, and we will finally
be presented a login screen with LTSP logo similar to the following:
You need to bear a slightly confusing detail in mind that is: when you login using LTSP, you are logged
onto the server. All the command are running on the server and you just get the display on your
screen. THAT IS THE POWER OF X WINDOWS.
