Thanks so much, Steve. These look to be excellent, step-by-step directions. I'll give it a try on a small server in my classroom over next week's break. (It's spring up here.)

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 <a href="https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuLTSPUpgradeNotes" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuLTSPUpgradeNotes </a>; 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 <a href="http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Edgy/HOWTO:_Install_MueKow_on_Ubuntu" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Edgy/HOWTO:_Install_MueKow_on_Ubuntu </a> that 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! <div><div>On 27/03/07, Scott Ledyard <<a href="mailto:scott@redboot.biz" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> scott@redboot.biz</a>> wrote: </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div>Hello all, You can probably guess by the use of the word "stuff" in the topic that I'm kind of clueless for this next question. I've heard people talk about a need to update the part of the system that the thin clients boot from. Is this what is stored in <tt>/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/? </tt> Does this get updated automatically during regular updates or is there a special process to update it? If so, when does it need updating? I've looked for information about this, but since we're using Edubuntu 6.10 and LTSP changes so often, I'm not sure what's what. Thanks for any light you can shed on this.
