Hi all,<br>
<br>
we plan to set up an x2go-server in a school, where people should have access<br>
to with laptops throught wlan.<br>
<br>
The laptops will have dual-boot systems an one of them should be a minimal<br>
setup with x2goclient (thinclient-image) and wlan access. It would be nice<br>
doing usb-automounting in the image - like the ltsp-thinclient environment<br>
does.<br>
<br>
They should behave thin-client like - only that they can&#39;t boot through pxe<br>
because of wlan. (For the desktops we still use ltsp - because of features<br>
like local apps and automounging ...) So users should not have to open a<br>
desktop-environment, starting x2goclient and mount local devices manualy.<br>
<br>
Are there any common approaches?<br>
<br>
Is automounting working in the tce of x2go?<br>
<br>
Thanks for your ideas.<br>
