Great, thanks for the tips.

About your libraries: I got the video and music database on mysql on my server and I'm using nfs to share the images and stuff. I'll integrate this in a future version so you don't have to do any manual configuration. Stay tuned

Last action was : downloading diskless xbmc
The last log messages are

Would I just disable the dhcp server on my router?I assume your router on your diagram is a router + switch and that your diskless workstations are connected to the switch?
Quote:Also any rough ideas on price for a suitable diskless pc?a diskless pc is just an ordinary pc without a hdd. can't give you a price, but I think a minimal pc that does hardware acceleration will be about 250€. there are some topics about hardware on this forum, so check those out.

Quote:One problem I've encountered: when creating an image, selecting the "Team-XBMC" PPA isn't accepted. Instead, it restarts the image creation process at the first menu. Not sure if there's something I need to changeI'll check it out, but I might have fixed it in the latest source. I'll post updated packages on the ppa later this week end.
