Client Side and hdinstall:
OOO, this is exactly what I was looking for! Thanx, Rock! I sure would like to get away from CDs and boot floppies and data floppies. OK, how do I run a script after runlevel 2 completes? You say make Xrem an executable (shell?) script in /etc/init.d and then make a sym link in /etc/rc2.d - is that all I do?

This is so differrent than I remember. Years ago I think all I did was to set runlevel 3 and add /usr/X11R6/bin/X -query 10.10.2.64 to the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local! Does it matter on the client side whether I knoppix-instaler as knoppix or debian for this procedure to work?

Server Side and hdinstall:
I'm not sure, but I imagine I'm using kdm for logins. I use whatever the default is from the debian knoppix-installer which is how I installed the server. OK, I found http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6873#6873, but this link does not exist: http://linux-sxs.org/remotexkdm.html

Client Side and liveCD
Now that you mention it though, maybe just running knoppix 2 off the poor man's install would suffice. Will my clients still have all the poor man's install autodetection and <k><knoppix><configure><configure printers> as well as /mnt/auto/floppy?

Thanx,
