Requires MAC->IP mapping in DHCP server (and optionally, DNS->IP mapping), or static IPs - else your print jobs will end up on random devices. This setup is preferred over the X2GoClient's built-in printing for locally attached printers if X2GoServer and ThinClients are on the same network. It is not recommended when your X2Go connection goes across the internet or when the ThinClient is actually a laptop roaming between different networks. * ''tcpprintonlyfrom=x.x.x.x'' - Will allow you to specify which IP address may connect to Port 9100 and above for printing to a locally attached LPT/USB printer. This should be the IP of your CUPS server or whatever print server system you use. Understands the same syntax as xinetd's ''only_from''. These are //not yet implemented//, but planned for a future release, and only intended to be used with TCE images stored on local media: - * ''updateurl=rsync|http|ftp://your-http-server-ip-or-dns-here/path-to-update-files'' - //not yet implemented//. Will allow you to update an image in the background when using local storage instead of PXE. Download task will start at a randomized interval to avoid unintentional dDOSing of the update server/network infrastructure. The updater will even work when using NTFS for local storage, but only if the //toram// boot option is used. Regardless of NTFS or not, the updater requires three directories: ''/boot/live1, /boot/live2, /boot/live-download'' - * ''bwlimit=nnn'' - //not yet implemented//. Will allow you to specify a bandwidth limit (valid values: 1-100) in percent for the backgrounded update task. - * ''ntfs-uuid='' - //not yet implemented//.

FIXME Document how to add second partition to USB media after dd'ing the iso-hybrid image, and how to add X2GoClient-Portable to it. + + * The catch is that on USB media, Windows will only see the partition with the partition number 1, even if there is more than 1 partition. + * However, it doesn't care whether the partition bearing the number 1 is actually the first partition.
