I think some misunderstanding has happened here caused both by my
misinterpretation and in how I phrased have things.

I suggested removing several specific packages and gave the specific
package names.  The reply (or so I thought) was to ask how to go about
removing the packages.  The thought of someone rolling out an ltsp system
to a business environment without knowledge of the package manager seemed a
little worrying so I suggested that perhaps it would be a good idea to look
over some of that more basic stuff first.

Sorry Paul, it wasn't at all my intention to get at you or question your
knowledge or experience.

PS the comment about the lack of clear documentation for some LTSP stuff is
merited.  I presume it is partially due to how new the LTSP v5 system is --
I think edubuntu are the first to use it?  I'm currently in the middle of
massaging ubuntu/ltsp5 to run a set of bootable servers for our network
testbed.  I must try and write the stuff up as I'm figuring it out.  it
must be said it's a very nice flexible system.
