Hi, I have recently since my last post managed to install and run K12LTSP and would like to update the firmaware on my CF-less and Diskless IBM N2200 thin client (off ebay) so that it can boot from LTSP, I have managed on all clients but this darn one, How can I update the BIOS to boot from LTSP. I have the flash file, but how do I apply it, I heard I can copy it to a CF card and boot it from cf? this sounds too simple, anyone help me please?Just copy the flash file to the root directory of the cf and the netvista will auto detect it, worked great for me.

Some important sites are: http://csgrad74.math.uwaterloo.ca/~cdmica....TO.html from this site i use : Required kernel patches for kernel 2.4.21, Kernel configuration for patched kernel 2.4.21, IBM's patched XF86_SVGA server 3.x, The XFree86 3.3.6 configuration file, Firmware update to 07/29/02 for NetVista 2200
8363Hey, that's Really useful! I bought my n2200 two days ago (ebay!), only just got round to pluging it in. Now it boots linux not ce & the bios is upgraded! Thanks for the help - hope I can add something useful soon, I want to get this n2200 working as a jukebox (nice & quiet). -gav.Has anyone used a larger than 256mb cf on this? 256mb is as high as they go in the ibm documentation. Also has anyone gotten any new apps to run? I attempted to run Teamspeak server, but it just starts then I get kernel panic and dumps to console then requires a restart.Next Page...
