Just off the top of my head I recall my boss saying we used to have a few compaq's in school and they where nothing but trouble on ltsp. That's not to say we got them working, but we now no longer have any ,I know that for sure. I'll pass this on to him and see if he has any suggestions, or can tell you hat problems we came up against and what we tried to try correct them. Sorry if this doesn't resolve the problem, but and least its going forward and being looked at. I'm out of school at the moment so I'll catch up with him in about an hour or so. -- Kind regards Alistair Crust Systems Administrator Skegness Grammar School Vernon Road Skegness PE25 2QS TEL: 01754 610000 (ext'852) FAX: 01754 896875 -- edubuntu-devel mailing list edubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
