Updating the Edubuntu thin client boot stuff

[Steve Jackson]

Scott, you are almost right about the path for the thin client 'stuff'. It
doesn't get updated automatically with the server side, unless you delete
and recreate it every time there is an update to the ltsp client build.

I think you should do this to update it, based on
https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuLTSPUpgradeNotes; all these steps are done
on the LTSP server:

# Copy the apt sources list into the thin client chroot
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/apt/
sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get update

# It is suggested at
http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Edgy/HOWTO:_Install_MueKow_on_Ubuntuthat
you do this next:
sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386/ mount -t proc proc /proc

# In any case, the next step is:
sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get upgrade

# If you want to upgrade the thin client kernel do
sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo ltsp-update-kernels

However, I follow the maxim 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' as far as thin
clients are concerned. If you do try it, take a copy of /opt/ltsp/i386
first.

I hope this helps!
