Getting Closer to KNOPPIX CITRIX CD

[dugstratton]

I have come to the point now where I have the KNOPPIX remastering environment setup. I now want to "install the citrix client" and configure it.

So now I need to know how to (I am assuming I can't run KDE while chrooted to do this the normal way? Correct? if not tell me how)

How to get application "shortcuts" (sorry X-windows person) to the KNOPPIX user menu. I am using KDE. When I install the ICA client under a normal gui environment it "creates" 2 shortcuts to the applications to control ICA. I want to copy these to the KNOPPIX user so when I create the cd they apear under applications.

Guess that is it for now.

Thanks for all the help. Hope to repay with like someday.

(I am assuming I can't run KDE while chrooted to do this the normal way? Correct? if not tell me how)I found this nice URL http://www.stirnimann.com/mystuff/doc/knoppix.txt in this forum a few days ago.

It tells you, step by step, how to remaster Knoppix. Take a special look att 3b and 3c, where you start a chroot:ed X -server!

dugstratton,

Did you get the citrix client working on your remaster? Any chance I could download a copy from you?

[dugstratton]

I have had to put that project on hold. Will get back to it sometime in the next few months.

[xstreamfisherman]

I thank you for your prompt reply. I may just try my luck at remastering one myself.

[dugstratton]

If you get one together I could sure use it.

There are a few CDs out there with the Citrix client. Check out www.sourceforge.net/projects/ftc. I did the Linux version based on an older version of Knoppix. It isn't maintained anymore, but may be of use to you.

[dugstratton]

when I go to that link it says invalid source?

[wesalmon]

I wrote the FTC project years ago and use it constantly. I am linux illiterate and have been trying to figure out any way of doing it in linux. I hope this knoppix project gets working. The link posted includes the . which is why it fails. I have been too busy to update it, but it is not dead!

when I go to that link it says invalid source?
That's because he put a dot '.' in the link, repaired: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/ftc/

btw, if he had put a trailing slash on the end, the dot wouldn't have caused a failure. Like this:
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/ftc/.

Hi all,

finally I have the Citrix ICA client installed in the home directory of a original Knoppix (not remastered) - it is working well but was a bit tricky to do.

Before I write a klik recipe (http://klik.berlios.de) for one-klik installation, I want to ask whether anyone is still interested in running the Citrix client. That would allow anyone to install Citrix in Knoppix by simply a klik, without hd-installing or remastering the CD.

Please let me know, folks.

I am still interested in getting it running on knoppix. This one click thing you are talking about? Please explain what you mean? Can I still end up with a bootable cd with citrix installed?

This one click thing you are talking about? Please explain what you mean? Can I still end up with a bootable cd with citrix installed?

Technically: Yes. Please see http://klik.berlios.de - if you burn your persistent home to CD then you have a CD that contains the klik-installed apps.

I have to have this project completed by the end of next week. Been working on it since Monday. Started running into a snag with the iso burns.

Was wondering if you had gotten back the creating your Knoppix Citrix distro?

If you haven't or can't, I'll share all I can on my current and future progress on the project. :D

[dugstratton]

I have nothing at this point except the stuff that might be here (I have not had time to look at it.)http://klik.berlios.de) for one-klik installation Anything you come up with I can sure use. Thanks

[probono]

And finally - the Citrix client is in klik now:
klik://icaclient (klik client must be installed)

[mbourgon]

I could definitely use one.
