You could install ltsp-pnp and then LDXE on the server, else you will have to update the image with LDXE . You have the choice to rebuild the image or keep the old one. If you keep the old image version make sure you have the old repositories setup when you chroot. Peter On Fri, Apr 26, 2013 at 1

Chris, The libsys file is obsolete. You are welcome to use it, but it *must* be used with a Woody system. Syncing it with a Sarge or Etch system *will* give you a broken system. That browser.jar-catalog is for use on the OPACS (the address bar is disabled), but I also have a new one for 1
