Converting standard LTSP to Edubuntu

[Jan Wilson]

I spent a day trying to get Edubuntu LTSP working after a dist-upgrade 
from Kubuntu Hoary, where I had a standard LTSP setup.  The good news: 
it's working!

Is there a document somewhere giving the details of the differences 
between LTSP 3.0 and Edubuntu LTSP 5.10?  That would've been very 
helpful.  I'd be happy to HELP write it ... though I have experience 
with LTSP I certainly wouldn't call myself a guru.

A few quick tip, for anyone trying to make the shift.  Using any part of 
the previous LTSP installation seems not only to make it more difficult, 
but nearly impossible.  What I wound up doing was renaming all the 
directories that had to do with LTSP, and (re)installing 
ltsp-server-standalone.  Apparently the ltsp-build-client script was 
detecting the existing LTSP installation and skipping a bunch of stuff.

I realize all this stuff is in flux, but it really would be nice to have 
some basic documentation for it.  I'm willing to help, and now that I 
have a working setup I can experiment.

I also have VMware, so I can experiment with installs and such.  Er, 
well, I THINK I have VMware ... haven't tried it since I changed to the 
latest Ubuntu kernel  ;-)
