I would really like to see your notes on getting mosix running with LTSP.
You're right, there is no really good documentation out there but I know
people are getting it work here & there.
I have used the latest MOSIX package to patch & compile custom 2.4.17
kernels for my LTSP test server and for the clients. MOSIX starts on the
server but I cannot seem to get it to start on the clients. I copied over
the MOSIX startup script to /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ as an rc file and put the
appropriate lines in the lts.conf to get it to run on the clients but it
still will not start. Calling it manually from the clients I get the error
"This is not MOSIX!". I don't know where to go from here.
Thanks for any help you can offer!

The contributor provides pre compiled kernels for ltsp. I have
