How to modify the startup and splash screens on the thin client.

[Paul J. Thompson]

Hi,

No offense taken :-) And I will report back (I expect by Monday) on how the
alternate ltsp install goes. In the meanwhile, I have removed the packages
that Gavin suggested and also removed the splash screens. That has work just
fine.

I have had our sales team (six members) on the modified Edubuntu ltsp (at
first only lightly moded, now as per Gavin suggestions) for two weeks now
and that is going very well. The system is proving stable and I have had few
complaints. Indeed I doubt that some of them have eve noticed the difference
as I have had the company on Open Office and other  open source software for
about a year now.

Regards,

Paul
