$ sudo x2gothinclient_update
</code>
With this last step your X2Go Thin Client's chroot environment is basically ready for being booted. The last step, however, is to configure the PXE boot manager itself (PXE, TFTP).
+
+ === Provide firmware for certain hardware devices ===
+
+ Debian does not ship so-called non-free firmware in its main package archive area. However, several network cards require the installation of a firmware package from Debian non-free.
+
+ Run the command
''x2gothinclient_shell'' and edit ''/etc/apt/sources'' (nano, vim and mcedit should be installed in your TCE chroot):
+ <code>
+ deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free
+ </code>
+
+ The run<code>
+ $ apt-get update
+ $ apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree firmware-bnx2 firmware-bnx2x firmware-myricom firmware-netxen firmware-qlogic firmware-ralink firmware-realtek intel-microcode amd64-microcode
+ </code>
+
+ If this command fails, please check if packages have been removed from your Debian version or if they are not yet available for your version. Also scann for other firmware packages:<code>
+ $ apt-cache search firmware
+ </code>
+
+ Also, there is a fine tool that you can run on normal Linux systems that helps with the package installation for several special hardware devices: [[http://packages.debian.org/unstable/main/isenkram|Isenkram by Petter Reinholdtsen]] from the Debian Edu team.

=== Boot environment for your X2Go Thin Client system
(PXE, TFTP) ===
With the ''x2gothinclient_preptftpboot'' script you can simply set up a PXE boot environment using the ''syslinux'' package. Please take a look at the ''/etc/x2go/x2gothinclient_settings'' configuration file for customization first, then run this script:
