[K12OSN] Re: K12LTSP 5B6-32bit query [Caveat Emptor]

[John T. Leonard]

Hello Eric,
Just jumping in here...I couldn't boot either pc or ppc clients until I shut off
the firewall (I disabled selinux on the install)...The process would hang on the
"tftp" part of the boot process....I did a straight K12LTSP install and nothing
else...not sure why it's affecting the K12 side of the networking but apparently
is.....eth0 and eth1 are on the correct cards and I don't recall having any
problems with card recognition after the install....
Anyhow, after shutting off the firewall all clients are booting fine except my
Ibooks need the xserver specified...hope this helps...J
