Hello

I'm using thinstation with PXE boot and it works fine, but some old machines booting from harddisk (syslinux). So I want to configure automatic update with HDUPDATE. Is there anywhere a howto do that?

What is the different between HDUPDATE_WS_VERSION ans SERVER_VERSION? What is the meening of these parameters? Will I get a message on the screen, if the update is running?


thanks

Sebastian

You don't get much of a message, it's really quick (maybe an extra 10s boot time?).

Any chance this wiki page exists somewhere else now?  I have trouble following where documentation has migrated through the different Thinstation homes.
