I got the LTSP problem sorted out. It was having trouble with the DNS
server I fed it. I edited /etc/resolv.conf after installation, and
fixed that up.
When I try to mount a floppy, I get this error on three computers I
installed Edubuntu workstations on:
I click Places -> Computers -> Floppy Drive, and get "Unable to mount
the selected volume. ... Error: given UDI is not a mountable volume"
I found this bug:
http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17562
and used its advise to make the attached launcher that calls pmount
/media/floppy0 in a terminal. This will do as a workaround for our lab
for now.
Maybe someone else will also get use out it.
