20060710 - This model is very nice! It allows you to start with the basics then taylor for your needs. Keep up the great work!
20060718 - Also take a look at http://live.debian.net/ . It is very nice as well.

KNOPPIX Terminal Server

==Preamble==

*This page will be used to document and describe how to boot KNOPPIX off the network using Samba as opposed to NFS.
**The page will pull from several resources to provide an official reference at the KNOPPIX site for all to use.
**Just starting so page will be in progress for a bit and will need to be catagorized.
*You are welcome to contact me on model (I have a day job, so please bare with me see [[User:Rjent|Rjent]]).

==Model==

* Most of the this information is an exert from a paper on the model at http://www.mgr3.k12.mo.us/~rjn103s/HybridNotes-20060504-1.pdf
The methodology for the hybrid environment uses a Common Internet File System (CIFS)
to boot up KNOPPIX. The base work for this model utilizes existing resources and information
from http://knoppix.manty.net . The setup information provided here
assumes you have PXE booting via TFTP already setup on the boot
server. The rest is as follows:
* KNOPPIX:
Download KNOPPIX 4.0.2+ and burn to a CD.

Download the miniroot.gz and integrate for the pxe bootup.
To do this, place the miniroot.gz in the /tftpboot/hybrid/pxeboot/ directory.
Make a directory under /tftpboot/hybrid/pxeboot/
called knoppix and copy the /boot/isolinux/linux file from the
KNOPPIX CD to /tftpboot/hybrid/pxeboot/knoppix/

Copy the KNOPPIX folder from the KNOPPIX CD to a location on server of
/hybrid/knoppixshare

Modify the pxe boot menu located at /tftpboot/hybrid/pxeboot/pxelinux.cfg
with the below addition:
LABEL CIFS KNOPPIX
KERNEL knoppix/linux
APPEND secure nfsdir=//xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/knoppix_share nodhcp \
lang=en ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init apm=poweroff nomce \
vga=791 initrd=miniroot.gz quiet BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix \
Note: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the server running the samba share.

* Samba
Samba provides the CIFS services, so we setup a share on server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
An example smb.conf is listed below:
[global]
workgroup = HYBRIDGROUP
netbios name = HYBRIDSERVER
security = share
guest account = nobody
[knoppix_share]
comment = Knoppix Boot Data
path = /hybrid/knoppix_share
read only = Yes
guest ok = Yes
Note: After changes to smb.conf you will need to restart samba services.

* DHCP Services
Example entry for dhcpd.conf below
group {
filename "hybrid/pxeboot/pxelinux.0";
host hybrid51 {
hardware ethernet MA:CA:DD:RE:SS:ED; fixedaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
}
}
Note: After changes to dhcpd.conf restart or reload dhcp services.

At this point, you should be ready to test boot your KNOPPIX
session.
