I was not running a display manager. Someone suggested entering
netstat -ap | grep xdmcp
and I didn't see anything running. Now to find out what to do...
I read the docs till I got to the part that suggests debugging X by
starting the client by hand. I had already set things up to boot clients
into run level 3 so I just entered
sh /tmp/start_ws
http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/ltsp-3.0.0/ltsp-3.0.html#AEN678
X came up, with the same ol Grey screen with large X cursor
I read a bit more
http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/ltsp-3.0.0/ltsp-3.0.html#AEN707
and realized I could start a display manager on the server
server# gdm
which started gdm and then
client# sh /tmp/start_ws
and I was up and running. :-)
I can run Mozilla and OpenOffice on a Compaq pentium 166Mhz with 96 Mb
memory just fine. :-)
I selected the boot in console not boot into X option when I loaded the
server. Could that have been the 'problem'?
