The ltsp-pnp method of maintaining LTSP installations without a chroot is now upstream in LTSP. It's no longer a separate package; all that's needed is to run ltsp-update-image --cleanup / and that will generate an /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img image out of the server disk contents, while excludin

Now that the ltsp-server and ltsp-client packages are allowed to be installed simultaneously (LP: #950945), I thought of an extremely simple method to install and maintain LTSP fat/thin computer labs that should be appealing to certain setups like small school labs. We'll probably start using it
