Dell Wyse ThinLinux 1.0.3 INI Guide

PDF

Placing the INI Files into the Folder Structure on the Server

You must need an FTP server to download your INI files and the path to download is specified in the INI page on the thin client. Under the C:/ inetpub/ftproot folder for FTP or C:/inetpub/wwwroot folder for HTTP/HTTPS and place your INI files. Other necessary files inside the structure as noted that this list describes the folder structure, starting with the root directory.

ThinLinux will set the default path as /wlx2 instead of traditional /wlx because some of the INI parameters are not compatible with old INI parameters from the older Linux Clients. The default path to search is /wlx2 first, if /wlx2 directory is not found then you can search for /wlx directory.

  • NOTE: There is no mixed path of /wlx2 and /wlx.

/wyse/

The root directory. It stores the wlx2 folder and the addons folder

It also stores the following files, which are used for imaging and updating devices:
  • thin-linux-<version>.raw
  • thin-linux.info

/wyse/wlx2
The main INI configuration folder. It stores the following:
  • wlx.ini file or MAC.ini file
  • bitmap folder
  • certs folder
  • ini folder

/wyse/wlx2/bitmap

The folder where you can place custom images you plan to use.

/wyse/wlx2/certs

The folder where you can place the CA certificates that can be imported to a thin client.

  • NOTE: To import the certificates to the thin clients, use the Certs and ImportCerts INI parameters.

/wyse/addons
The folder where you can place the add-ons you want to use. It also stores the directory file and the *.rpm packages available to be installed on the thin client. The directory file should list all available add-ons. The directory file is required in the addons folder to guarantee that add-ons are properly located.
  • NOTE: If you want to do an update with the Preserve changes option enabled, ensure that your addons folder includes a copy of your current add-ons. The system may require two reboots to fully update the firmware and add-ons while preserving local changes.
