[Bug 573975] Re: pxe image fails to boot: "Forbidden directory"

[Tim Wallace]

Hi Alkis--

I installed from the desktop CD, not the alternate, and tftpd set up for 
/srv.  I don't know what the contract is between the various Ubuntu 
services like tftp and the many (Ubuntu and custom) applications that 
might use them.  I assumed that it would be the responsibility of the 
LTSP packages to verify the configuration of any services such as tftp 
that they need and re-configure if necessary.  Hence I assumed it was a 
bug in LTSP.  Similarly, I don't know if compiz is supposed to function 
with a wide range of remote clients of possibly limited hardware.  So 
I'd also file that one under LTSP, myself.  Sound...it's working pretty 
well on my desktops.  Haven't looked into the ltsp client problem yet!

So it's not that I don't try to file separate bug reports...it's just 
not always easy to figure out what package is at fault! :)
