lts.conf settings being ignored

[Joseph Bishay]

Hello Alkis,

Thanks for your email.

So I found that getltscfg was not installed on the server so I had to
install.  It's part of the ltsp-client-core

$ sudo apt-get install ltsp-client-core
The following extra packages will be installed:
  nbd-client numlockx python-daemon python-lockfile tftp-hpa udhcpc
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  ltsp-client-core nbd-client numlockx python-daemon python-lockfile tftp-hpa
  udhcpc

It asked me for a configuration option with regards to how NBD works
when disconnecting and I went with what the default setting was.

The other thing I noticed is that I don't have the i386 directory, I
only have the amd64 directory, so I substituted amd64 whenever you
wrote i386.

The other responses are in-line below:

Done.

Done.  During this I saw after Number of gids this:

"Configuration file /etc/nbd-server/conf.d/ltsp_amd64.conf already
exists, no action taken.
Regenerating kernel..."

and thought it may be relevant?

With regards to tftp:
$ tftp -V
tftp-hpa 5.2, without readline

Thank you
