|
|
|
<P>This document describes how an X terminal manufactured by NCD (Network
|
|
Computing Devices) can be connected to and booted from a UNIX host using
|
|
BootP (boot protocol). Many terminals are also capable of booting with
|
|
RARP, NFS or locally from a PCMCIA card or over a serial link (either
|
|
directly or with a modem).
|
|
<P>Although the material in this document was prepared based on experience
|
|
with a single model of X terminal, much of the information applies to other
|
|
models and other X terminals generally. There is also an Linux X terminal
|
|
mini HOWTO document (declared obsolete by HOWTO maintainers at the time of
|
|
writing and therefore possibly not available in all Linux distributions)
|
|
which overlaps material from this document. That document covers X terminal
|
|
information more generally.
