Ok, I didn't try to set up the local devices. Local devices worked for me. Indeed, I plugged a USB key into my PXE-booted laptop, double clicked on the 1GB MP4 video on the key and it played (with only slight frame jitter initially) direct off the key (even though the usb controller was usb1). > For primary school it's enough, the pupils don't need evolution and all > the other things to manage their lessons;-) 30 MB per user is a strong > argument. Fair enough. It won't have installed any of the educational packages though, so you might want to install those yourself. I'm particularly thinking of the KDE educational stuff, plus the "childsplay" packages which are really quite good for younger kids (my niece loves them). There might also be something to be said for the edubuntu artwork, if it can be used easily in XFCE. It does seem odd that the edubuntu cd installer gave problems but installing ltsp-stand-alone-server onto (x)ubuntu worked fine for both of us.
