It's fairly trivial to use wget to fetch the full set of tarballs and
.ltsp package descriptions required by ldspadmin . You could then burn
those onto a CD along with the ltsp-utils RPM, and would not need to
download the full tarball set each time you use it.
I've posted a wget command that'll do the download already on another
thread.
I do have one suggestion though - it would be really nice if ltspadmin
treated unqualified URIs without a protocol as local filesystem
directories rather then relative HTTP URIs. That way, one could easily
aim ltspadmin at /mnt/cdrom (for example) to do an install of the
packages from CD. As it is, it looks like one must instead manually
populate ltspadmin's download cache with the pre-downloaded packages,
which is a bit clumsy.
