Have you considered doing a remote reinstall of all your clients every morning? I'm sure there is a way to automatically installing windows machines via some form of ghosting. W - Original Message - From: "Jeff Beaird" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Breshears Doug P" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: S

Why LTSP? Wouldn't a live distribution of linux be better? Have you tried Qemu, another emulation program. If it is just only a few apps you need to run, WINE would be a better solution. - Original Message - From: "Benjamin Green" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006

I think you can modify your /etc/exports to where you built lbe/ltsp, but you need to modify the dhcpd.conf to point to the right place. Alternatively, what I do is move the old /opt/ltsp/i386 to /opt/ltsp/i386-old, and make a symbolic link to your new ltsp/lbe directory instead of doing a great b
