HI there .. sorry for delay
@ P Knight
Yes .. I know the option -fat-client
but if i do .. then the program heekscnc reside in the chroot
and the execution start on the client ( with less cpu power)
and not in the server side ( with more cpu power ).
and anyway .. if i compile a program from source on the server....
@ Alkis Georgopoulos
YYYYES !!
I had noticed that command scrolling /usr/bin directory (in chroot).
and tried to run it without any luck.
I did not find documentation as lts.conf
Thanks for telling me how to activate the command.
