HP T5700 & Linux

March 26th, 2008 Leave a comment Go to comments

I managed to get an HP T5700 Thin Client Machine. Which will get a function later. For now it is just a nice toy. I managed to boot some linux stuff over PXE and running the debian installer with the “nopcmcia” option. Because the internal flash is just 192MB (it is one of the earlier editions). I have a lack of internal discspace, I can solve this of course with a simple USB stick solution. Well. For now I have Thinstation running and it is definitive a cool small application for commercial stuff.

Anyways enough BS for now. I’m going to play further in a few hours. But first NCIS

    First setup an DHCP server and an TFTP server. Configure it with a class for you mac address providing the TFTP location where it should boot from. Thats the easy part and there are enough tutorials available on the internet for this.
