Hi Francis, Lot of thanks for your detail information.
Debian distribution is completely new to me.

I already have the complete package under /stable/non-free/ downloaded from their site. Could you shed me some light what are the difference of the /stable/main/ and stable/non-free/ packages ? /stabe/non-free/ package ltsp-core-i386_3.0.4..> 10-May-2002 21:12 1.3M ltsp-kernel-2.4.18-i..> 01-Jul-2002 21:02 4.8M ltsp-kernel-2.4.9-i3..> 08-Apr-2002 18:32 8.0M ltsp-local-apps-i386..> 19-Dec-2001 21:46 925k ltsp-x-core-i386_3.0..> 09-Dec-2001 22:10 10.4M ltsp-x-fonts-i386_3...> 09-Dec-2001 22:12 8.5M ltsp-x-xserver-3dlab..> 09-Dec-2001 22:13 941k ltsp-x-xserver-8514-..> 09-Dec-2001 22:13 752k ltsp-x-xserver-agx-3..> 09-Dec-2001 22:13 831k ltsp-x-xserver-fbdev..> 09-Dec-2001 22:13 867k ltsp-x-xserver-i128-..> 09-Dec-2001 22:13 929k ltsp-x-xserver-mach3..> 09-Dec-2001 22:14 817k ltsp-x-xserver-mach6..> 09-Dec-2001 22:14 868k ltsp-x-xserver-mach8..> 09-Dec-2001 22:14 756k ltsp-x-xserver-mono-..> 09-Dec-2001 22:14 839k ltsp-x-xserver-p9000..> 09-Dec-2001 22:14 839k ltsp-x-xserver-s3-3...> 09-Dec-2001 22:14 1.0M ltsp-x-xserver-s3v-3..> 09-Dec-2001 22:15 925k ltsp-x-xserver-svga-..> 09-Dec-2001 22:15 1.4M ltsp-x-xserver-vga16..> 09-Dec-2001 22:15 842k ltsp-x-xserver-w32-3..> 09-Dec-2001 22:15 770k >ltsp-doc_3.0.0-0_all.deb # The manual. It is not there. I found "lts-doc_2.4-1_all.deb" in /stable/main/ , an old version. >If you don't use an x font server, you will also need >ltsp-x-fonts-i386_3.0.0-0_all.deb Sorry I am not quite clear about "if you don't use an x font server" >I don't know if the soft dependencies reflect this fact or not: it may list >it as required, rather than recommended.

I will try to install the packages first to check whether I need some additional utilities. Usually a warning will pop-up. >You shouldn't need anything else, normally.
