Can you, or anyone else, tell which exact changed are to be made from woody to testing? I have upgraded, but no thin-clients works anymore (we have changed the ip-set up because we have an existing system to adapt to; the upgrade had to be made in order to use the newest packages of openoffice in norwegian; they cant be installed on woody). > Another thing that we need to work around is the config of the keyboard > in Xfree.

I managed to change the Keyboard using this: http://i18n.skolelinux.no/miljoevariabler.html removing kde-i18n-no_NO and installing kde-i18n-nb_NO and nn_NO (...) > I guess we will have to loose the ltsp3 images from the official > education-tasks, since they are not going into sarge.

I dont want to do that with OpenOffice.org. (i'm not > even sure about mozilla). I dont understand what you mean here. Is it a Problem to get OOo to work as multiusers under Sarge? -Axel
