It is in amd64 form, but not in i386 form. The amd64 architecture can run both amd64 and i386 code, but the i386 cannot, so for i386 terminals, you need i386 binaries. You could probably boot amd64 terminals straight away! ;-) Cross-arch is a pain... The Ubuntu guys done a tremendous amount of work so far. I know they are working hard to make all of this as easy as possible. > "-Install the ltsp-server package on the > liveCD?" how do I install onto a live CD?!), it appears I will be > formatting and re-installing i386 on my amd64. The phrasing is a little funny there. You're not installing onto the CD, but rather from the CD. You want to download the i386 LiveCD, boot a terminal with it, mount a directory on your server from the LiveCD, and install to that mounted directory. Once you're chroot'ed back onto your LTSP server from an i386 Live CD, you're actually installing i386 packages on your amd64 server in parallel to the existing amd64 ones. You'll have /opt/ltsp/amd64 _and_ /opt/ltsp/i386. > ::Sigh:: > > <wishing I could trade in 15 years of DOS/Windows/Novell networking for > a few years of Linux skillz..> Don't despair! Just takes time... Keep asking questions. The Ubuntu community is great. FYI, probably ought to send further replies to the mailing list rather than me directly. There are many sharp folks there who can help. Also, might try out the #edubuntu IRC channel at irc.freenode.net. ;-) Real time help, and it seems like it's more active than the mailing list. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat Cheers! -- Dan Young <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Multnomah ESD - Technology Services 503-257-1562 -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
