Hello,
First of all, sorry for my poor english !
I'm french and I try to use your wonderfull tool on thinstation
(NeoWare CA15 : http://parkytowers.me.uk/thin/neoware/CA15/index.shtml).
The purpose is to deliver free access to thinstation for web business
only to my students, like see their planning, ... You webconverger is
the perfect way to do that !!
I made an USB drive the way you mentioned it and boot on it !
Everything works perfectly ! BUT, the keyboard is in "qwerty", the
homepage doesn't fit the one I want to use...
"No problem" I said : I pressed tab on boot menu and wrote "locales=fr
keyboard-layout=fr homage=theoneiwant" (with azerty keyboard but
qwerty writing, it was a piece of cake ;-)). Result : perfectly
operational !
Now, I would like to set those options directly onto the usb drive so
I won't have to write it every time I need to restart the system.
There is the problem : I can't find a way to do that ! With my windows
system : the usb drive is nothing but unreachable. With my ubuntu 11.0
live cd : the usb drive is readable but read-only and I don't know
enough of linux systems to modify anything that isn't obvious...
Could you please help me with that ?
bonus question : The usb drive seems to be a little slow on my station
so if you had a way to quicken up the system, I would be pleased to
know it !
