Gavin, In the /opt/ltsp/pkg_cache directory, where you got the .tgz files from, you should also have a .ltsp file for each of the .tgz files. You need to cat all of those .ltsp files together into a packages.list file.
cat *.ltsp >packages.list Drop that file into the pkg_cache directory on your other server, and you should be good to go. If you don't have the .ltsp files, you should also be able to grab the packages.list file from the ltsp package mirror like this: wget http://ltsp.mirrors.tds.net/pub/ltsp/ltsp-4.2/packages.list Jim McQuillan [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Tue, June 20, 2006 6:36 am, Gavin Chester wrote: > I have two (potential) ltsp servers/workstations on dialup.
