Re: Can't Get Global configuration file
Basically, it sounds like you only want a RDP session to start
automatically. You need to change the session variables. You only need
one entry and you can set that to autostart. You also do not need to
include a window manager if all you are going to do is start a RDP session.
Basically can remove all SESSION options except something like this:
Autostart=On
SESSION_0_TITLE="Title"
SESSION_0_TYPE=rdesktop
SESSION_0_RDESKTOP_SERVER=192.168.1.222
#SESSION_0_RDESKTOP_OPTIONS="-u 'username' -a 16 -r
sound:local,disk:floppy=/mnt/floppy,cdrom=/mnt/cdrom,usb=/mnt/usbdevice -N"
SESSION_0_ICON=ON
The OPTIONS line is optional. . .lol. . .but that sample line is what I
have from that last time I tried to connect all the client drives (I
don't use that line - it is commented out)
In your build.conf configuration options, you can comment out (#)
package icewm and package blackbox to make the boot image smaller/faster
to load. The compiled package should end up around 7MB or less with what
you need.
