Hi folks, I tried the steps Wolfgang suggested above. It was quite a pain and took long due to my rather bad internet connection. I seams that most of the packages are available on debian-edu-9+edu0-USB.iso. Therefore it helped me a lot to copy them into /var/cache/apt/archives/ prior to the building process to reduce the number of downloads. The building process was successful, which is good news. I then tested LTSP with a client pc. To boot using option LTSP diskless workstation seems to work perfectly. Booting with option LTSP thin client fails. The booting process starts as expected returning a number of messages. The following message is thrown but may not be serious, since it also appears with option LTSP diskless workstation not causing any problems apparently. [FAILED] Failed to start Simple Desktop Display Manager. See systemctl status sddm.service for details. After this, the screen turns black. I can then switch to console but Im unable to go further since login and password is required. I tested root and first user login without success. Any ideas? Kind regards, Roman
