Well, I've partially answered my own questions ... I've downloaded the desktop and server ISOs at http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04 and they appear to boot right to Ubuntu and presumably have some scripts the install things, including LTSP. I saw no LTSP repositories on those CDs. So, this does not appear to be an option since I'm trying to use Slackware, not create a stand-alone Ubuntu server.
I then went to https://sourceforge.net/p/kiwi-ltsp/wiki/Install%20on%20other%20distributions/ per Jigish Gohil's suggestion and examined the retrieved kiwi-ltsp.tar.xz. It has lots of files that install in /etc, /usr and /srv, but that's all I figure out. There is no README in the tarfile, or further instructions on the website. Lots of assumed knowledge with this and I've no idea what to do next. Next, per James McQuillan's, Jigish Gohil's and Vagrant Cascadian's suggestions I downloaded the "branches" from launchpad: $ bzr branch lp:ltsp/ldm-trunk $ bzr branch lp:ltsp/ltsp-trunk These look more promising and understandable. I'll see what I can do with these and post back. --Mark -----Original Message----- From: Mark Foley <mfo...@ohprs.org> Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2015 22:16:07 -0400 Organization: Ohio Highway Patrol Retirement System To: ltsp-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net I'm going to try downloading and tweaking the Ubuntu LTSP and see if I can get that going per Christopher Roberts' "suggestion". Before I head down the wrong path right from the start, I've got the link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall, which points to the iso at http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04. Is this a reasonable place to start or totally the wrong CD for what I am trying to do? If I make progress (or even if not), I'll see what I can do with Vagrant Cascadian's suggestion to create a Slackware version. Slackware is still a pretty robust disto. I reverted back to Slackware when my Debian attempt at installing the Samba4 AD/DC slogged to a halt. The Slackware distro for Samba4 AD/DC worked right out of the box, no problem. Note: if reading these last two paragraphs has caused the point of this message to slip your mind, I repeat, is the http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04 iso and instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall a good starting point? --Mark -----Original Message----- > From: "Christopher Roberts" <c...@tridentgarages.co.uk> > To: <ltsp-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net> > Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2015 17:21:34 +0100 > Organization: Trident Honda > > On Mon, Sep 28, 2015 at 8:12 PM, Mark Foley <mfo...@ohprs.org> wrote: > > Unfortunately, Ubuntu is not an option.
