Hi
I have a spare PC without HDD. It has a Celeron 500 64 mb ram 1810chipset and a ASUS 52X Cdrom drive.Does not support CD booting
I also have a fully functional PC Pentium 2.4ghz, 256mb RAM, CDRand DVD combo drive, 845GVSR chipset, 2 40g HDD's used for daily needs
What use can this diskless PC be put to in combination to the new one.
Thanks Ninad

I was casually reading a knoppix startup page and it has instructions for creating a boot floppy. :)

Rony.

Hi
Thanks for the replies
I think the LTSP solution holds true if I have a spare monitor/mouse and keyboard
Apparently I have only the CPU and no spare peripherals.
In this situation how can I put this spare HDD less Pc to use
Thanks Ninad

^^^^^^^^^^ I don't quite follow the use of the word "apparently." Is your query for real or an academic exercise?

Can we use NFS to boot remotely in such a situation? -- Regards, Sanket Medhi, sanketmedhi [at] gmail.com http://gmail.com
