[OPLINTECH] More information on openSUSE Education live DVD

[Bob Neeper]

My notes on 3 ways to use the live DVD.
Did the first 2 in Vmware
For the second I made a vmware dummy workstation that did PXE

Started the third, but didn't test the PXE or finish configuration yet.


The Live DVD contains KIWI-LTSP server that can be enabled even by 
non-technical users, with tons of applications from openSUSE Education 
repository.

For a demo or actual use.
The DVD may be immediately booted in a networked PC.
Boot the PC from the hard disk again for normal operation.

KIWI-LTSP server demo and testing purpose only (Not for production use).
With the KIWI-LTSP server you can PXE(network) boot other PCs to use 
this live DVD.
Use a networked PC with a second NIC connected ONLY to a hub (or switch) 
and 1 to 5 PC's capable of PXE booting.
    (For 1 PC only, it may be connected using just a cross-over cable)
Boot the Live DVD in the networked PC, Follow the LTSP/Quick Start guide
  In Step1 configure the second NIC.  Skip step 2  Complete steps 3 & 4.
PC PXE boot logins are "linux1 - linux5" with password "linux"
After testing is complete, boot the PC's from hard disk again for normal 
operation.

Production environment.
Install openSUSE-Edu Li-f-e from the Live DVD to a dedicated PC, add new 
users configure, etc.
Requirements include a second NIC to dedicated PC's capable of PXE 
booting. (Similar to demo method)
