You can have many LTSP environment for thin client, but you need the
static dhcp for many filename
Example the /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf I create a group with option for kiosk mode
# test LTSP
* * * * * * * *group {
* * * * * * * * * * * *option root-path "/opt/ltsp/kiosk"; * <==== the kiosk mode LTSP
environnment for all PC in the group
* * * * * * * * * * * *next-server 195.221.40.200;
* * * * * * * * * * * *filename "/ltsp/kiosk/pxelinux.0";
* * * * * * * * * * * *# PC (Salle multimedia) prof
* * * * * * * * * * * *host lnt-d00048 {
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *hardware ethernet 00:1a:a0:34:43:dc;
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *fixed-address 195.221.40.20;
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *}
* * * * * * * * * * * *# PC (Salle multimedia) eleve 1
* * * * * * * * * * * *host lnt-d00050 {
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *hardware ethernet 00:1a:a0:34:44:af;
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *fixed-address 195.221.40.21;
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *}
And for other method, you set the filename for every PC:
* * * *host test-ltsp1 {
* * * * * * * * * * * *next-server 195.221.40.200;
* * * * * * * * * * * *filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0";
* * * * * * * * * * * *option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386"; * *<==== the standard LTSP environnment
* * * * * * * * * * * *hardware ethernet 00:0c:29:27:ec:22;
* * * * * * * * * * * *fixed-address 192.168.62.170;
* * * * * * * * * * * *}
* * * * * * * *# adresse pour test LTSP
* * * * * * * *host test-ltsp2 {
* * * * * * * * * * * *option root-path "/opt/ltsp/fati386"; * <==== the fat client LTSP
environnment
* * * * * * * * * * * *next-server 195.221.40.200;
* * * * * * * * * * * *filename "/ltsp/fati386/pxelinux.0";
* * * * * * * * * * * *hardware ethernet 00:0c:29:c6:98:9d;
* * * * * * * * * * * *fixed-address 192.168.62.171;
* * * * * * * * * * * *}
And all PC use the same LTSP server
# ls /opt/ltsp/
fati386
i386
kiosk
# ls /opt/ltsp/images
fati386.img
i386.img
kiosk.img
etc etc
