help with installing browser and office as local apps on LTSP

Hi,

please post to the list rather than me personally.  More people can help
that way.  Also don't attach RTF files, just paste the data into the email
so it's easier to read.

The output of apt-get update below clearly shows that you're not able to
access the server.

It's not clear to me whether this is because you have or have not set a
proxy.  If you need to set one, you can do

	export http_proxy=http://proxyserver:port
	apt-get update

If you need to unset one you can check the environment variable is set by 
	echo $http_proxy

and look in the files in /etc/apt/ to see have you got a proxy server
configured for apt.  It sounds like you might have.
