Hi Jonathan, sorry, I probably didn't express myself right and you misunderstood me. Let me try this again: My mail was referring to the squashfs system ***only***. No alternate installer, no debian packages. I was suggesting the opposite of what you suggested in your previous mail: * Instead of including the /opt/ltsp/images/<arch> image, * to include the whole /opt/ltsp/<arch> chroot tree in the live DVD. And the duplicate files I was referring to were the chroot files, e.g. /opt/ltsp/<arch>/usr/ are mostly duplicates of files found in /usr Why? * Because I think it would need a lot *less* space than including the image. I imagine that it would need e.g. ~30 Mb as opposed to the image which would need ~200 Mb. * To run ltsp live, ltsp-update-sshkeys and ltsp-update-image will be necessary. It's easier to do that if you have the chroot tree available. * Running ltsp-update-image from the live cd puts the result to a tmpfs, which would make the client booting faster (so the teacher trying ltsp live would see real boot times, not ultra slow boot times).
