2009-07-30 Thread David Groos
Hi All, I need to be able to make an image of a Jaunty Edubuntu LTSP server which I can then burn onto others, at the same school and at a different school. I saw Asmo use the term 'golden server' so did a search for it + Ubuntu but only came up with hits for working with golden client. Thanks!
