Creditcard PC Server setup and maintenance

The LHCb Creditcard PCs are embedded disk-less x486 compatible PCs. They boot via the network and they use an NFS tree installed on a remote server as their root filesystem.

You can only operate Creditcard PCs, when you have a server for them. Here you find information on how to setup a server, add CCPCs and maintain software on the server.
