I managed to install rdesktop & successfully got v1.4.1 to run on the NetVista N2200 & connect to Windows Server 2003 :)))  


My settings: rdesktop -k en-us -f -x l -a 16  


** 2 Problems I have though:  


1) Even though xTerm can run Full Screen, RDP from Windows Server 2003 appears at 15" size on my 17" monitor ??  
- Even though I used the correct Full Screen Flag  


2) 1 Keyboard key is not working properlly  
The 'Backspace' key acts/works like the 'Delete' key & does NOT backspace  
- Even though I am using the 'en-us' flag  


Any way to fix these 2 problems ???

I have  a question. I have extracted a VMLINUZ and an INITRD from an installer CDROM. I'd like to use the INITRD with a compiled version of DSL kernel VMLINUX to boot the N2200 then install the rest of the package over the net.

Is this possible, do you think?



TT,

no, i think it is not possible, because the ibm firmware
bootloader dont tell the kernel to use initrd.


Hi 8363

I have installed & run your linux N2200 kernel distro :)

I would like to boot(either from server or compact flash) the N2200
from PXES(http://pxes.sourceforge.net/) as all this Linux distro contains are 7 different login clients


But I have 1 question:

You say: "the ibm firmware bootloader dont tell the kernel to use initrd"


Could you tell me the order & what files the N2200 boots ?

ie.
1) vmlinuz linux kernel (uncompressed) - what file is loaded next ??
2) NOT initrd - then what ??
3) ??


Because to boot PXES the order is:
1) pxelinux.0
2) pxelinux.cfg
3) vmlinuz-pxes.i586
4) pxes.squash

The Kernel is searching for "init" .
In this case "init" is a function of "busybox".
If  Busybox-init didn't find an "inittab"  it will run "etc/init.d/rcS"
(thats the way Linux2200 starts)
