The only reason I can think that a user with less than 42 meg ram would install mandrake would be as a thin client. If that is the case, could the installer not be shrunk enough to do the bare necessary for a thin client.
To my mind the needs would be: To recognize and install for the hardware networking X rdesktop/citrix client /rfbdrake/vnc a nice touch would be to boot to a menu with the choice to use local X server/vnc, or use rdesktop/citrix to a windows terminal server, these items could be defined during install, including other such things as local font servers, nas servers and installation of nas, etc. I think Mandrake would make an excellent X terminal server for desktops, why not take the extra step to make building thin clients easier using Mandrake's excellent installer.... I can see a mdk enhancement of ltsp mixed with mosix clustering for the server. On Monday 01 April 2002 11:41 am, you wrote: > "Brian J. Murrell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > 1.
