FreeBSD “thin” client



For now, this is just a semi post (published so I won’t forget to update it when I have more time).

The client PXE boots properly, auto starts Apache, X and Firefox, but Firefox won’t work. 

Problem: Firefox needs to lock on various sqlite databases it keeps in /userhome/.mozilla/firefox and as that fs was actually a nfs export, it couldn’t. 

Solution: md fs mounted on /userhome/.mozilla + untar the content of that directory after system boots.
