It's actually possible to reproduce the entire functionality of LTSP (complete with all local apps) in around 400k of packages. I've done so; you can find them at www.fensystems.co.uk/RPMS.fensys - download the mkinitrd-net terminal-server RPMs, install and enjoy. Only reason I haven't uploaded them to contribs is because I gave up on waiting for things uploaded to contribs to make it into the distribution. Michael
