  A diskless workstation runs all software locally. The client machines boot directly from the LTSP server without a local hard drive. Software is administered and maintained on the LTSP server (inside of the LTSP chroot), but it runs on the diskless workstation. Home directories and system settings are stored on the server too. Diskless workstations are an excellent way of reusing older (but powerful) hardware with the same low maintenance cost as with thin clients. 
  
- LTSP defines 320MB as the default minimum amount of RAM for diskless workstations. If the amount of RAM is less, the machine will boot as thin client. The related LTSP parameter is {{{FAT_RAM_THRESHOLD}}} with the default value 300. So if (for example) the clients should only boot as diskless workstations if they have 1 GB RAM add {{{FAT_RAM_THRESHOLD=1000}}} to lts.conf (or set this in LDAP). Unlike workstations diskless workstations run without any need to add them with GOsa², because LDM is used to login and connect to the LTSP server.

  '''LTSP client firmware'''
  
- LTSP client boot will fail if the client's network card requires a non-free firmware.
+ LTSP client boot will fail if the client's network interface requires a non-free firmware.
  A PXE installation can be used for troubleshooting problems with netbooting a machine; if the Debian Installer complains about a missing XXX.bin file then non-free firmware has to be added to the initrd used by LTSP clients.
  
  In this case execute the following commands on an LTSP server.

  On the main subnet the complete PXE menu is provided; the separate subnet for each LTSP server allows only diskless and thin LTSP client selection.
