The script automates the installation of IE under linux. Ive used it on Ubuntu in a commercial environment to interface with a parts ordering system, with good results.

@ Pete22 Yes, there is a bug in the install script whereby the computer does not reboot automatically. You must do it yourself :D. The probelm you mention with the old standard puppy 2.15ce appearing instead of the modified ecopup is caused by a file which is missing "eco_save.2fs". This c...

Thanks to everyone today on IRC who were so friendly to my students during the IRC lesson. They were absolutely petrified of chatrooms when I mentioned them, they had heard so many bad things....they left saying "wow...is that all they are, whats all the fuss about?" :-)

and post the results of

also try...

Code: Select all

and then try to reconnect as normal. This closes dhcpcd and kills all of the log files and caches associated with it...I dont know what these are I just know there are a few of them.[/code]

After a bit more experimenting, Ive found that, on a network with both a pxe dhcp server and a router dhcp server, an i.p. is assigned randomly, rather than "first come first served". It should therefore just be a matter of running a script to connect via dhcp, check for a successful inter...

Im designing this system with simplicity in mind. The idea is to simply plug the master computer into an standard adsl router, and have the other machines connected to it boot from it and gain their own internet connection automatically.

So, it is possible to configure the dhcp server on the "master" machine to only accept connection requests that are from client machines attempting to boot, any others (i.e. from the dhcpc requests for an internet connection AFTER the cybercafe clients have booted). In a setup where both t...

Netboot Internet Connection Problem with PXE/DHCP

Ive designed a netbooting cybercafe system where the client machines are booted via PXE/Netboot from a master PC. All of the machines are knitted together via a 4 port ADSL modem, with additional hubs in place for extra computers if needed. Ive been experiencing some pretty strange faults which Ive ...
