As others have said, this is how LTSP is supposed to work. You may have gotten confused by reading posts about "local applications". You can, in fact, install some applications in the chroot environment so that they run on the thin client instead of on the server. But that is typically reserved for special cases and it's slightly more complicated to do. For now just stick with installing software on the server and "seeing" it from the thin clients. -Rob ******************************************************** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
