By the looks of things the path of least resistance is to install your server form the alternate CD and enable LTSP at install time. I'm actually pretty sure my setup is 99% there and I'm doing something dumb for the last 1% but google doesnt seem to want to bail me out like it normally does :-( I will keep pursuing it though since I have this vision of creating a lab in a (big) box and pitching up at a site with a trolly with 6 or 8 thin clients, screens, keyboards and 1 serverish box and training kids, university students, FOSSGIS converts etc. I have the thin clients working pretty nicely over xdmcp but I was hoping for the classroom aid stuff that LTSP promises like being able to see all the active sessions on a control screen, screen sharing, taking over screens remotely etc. I actually followed another tut when setting things up which was pretty straightforward, though I wasnt able to find the link again when I wrote the post.

I have several different platforms to test with and am wondering about next steps. Is it just me or is LTSP documentation not so great? Either that or my attention span is pathetically degrading ;-) Hi Tim, I’m also keenly interested in your progress here on this topic and will look at your links.
