Thanks for clarification. Now the working principles are much clear. The scenario I wanted to reach is not in LTSP architecture. Your explanation prevent me hard headaches :) Just one question more, if you are so patient with me: if I want to work in pure thin-client mode, is it necessary to ltsp-update-images each time I install new apps on the server? Or it is unecessary while the chroot is used only to boot? Thanks g
