In the following example, we will assume it is ''AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF''. * Change to the pxelinux.cfg directory in your tftproot. - * create a symlink with the name ''01-AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF'' (note the extra "01-" at the beginning) pointing to x2goö-tce. + * create a symlink with the name ''01-AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF'' (note the extra "01-" at the beginning) pointing to x2go-tce. * After that, your ThinClient should boot the X2Go-TCE image. - To make the X2Go-TCE image the default image: + + To make the X2Go-TCE image the default and only boot image: * Change to the pxelinux.cfg directory in your tftproot. * run ''ls -lah default'' * Make a note where this symlink points to, if it is a symlink. * If it is not a symlink, but a regular file, rename it e.g. to ''default-before-x2go-tce'' * create a new symlink named ''default'' that points to ''x2go-tce'' + + To create several configurations to accommodate varying hardware/use cases, but all booting the same basic image: + * Change to the pxelinux.cfg directory in your tftproot. + * copy the file x2go-tce to an appropriate name, like x2go-tce-debug or x2go-tce-P4-whitebox-with-crappy-VGA + * you can create as many such configuration files as you want, and edit them according to the use case + * to make a particular client boot a particular configuration, + * Determine the MAC address of your ThinClient.
