Well, if you mean that I am involved somehow in the termserv
project, then yes.

Not really. Get a distribution that includes webmin out of the box or
complain to your vendor;-)

These problems arise because this part of the INSTALL file is outdated.
Thanks for pointing it out, I corrected it, but cvs does not work at the
moment here so I cannot check it in. Maybe it works tomorrow.

You don�t need to do that with the cvs version anymore, it finds the new
path automatically, because since 2.09pre there is a file /etc/ltsp.conf
containing the path to LTSP.

The etherboot path should point to a directory where the source of
etherboot is unpacked. But you need it only if you want to use the
rom-image creation of the module. This is really only interesting for those
without good net access, because otherwise using rom-o-matic is easier.

I think this is self explanatory if you look into that file: Add a line
"2.09pre4" => 2084,
to the hash %versions.
BTW if you don�t like the debugging output, set $DEBUG=0 and
$EXPERIMENTAL=0 in globals.pl (This will be done in official releases).

Any setting that contains quotation marks (") is not supported. That means
I don�t know how the module behaves if you try to read in a file containing
these settings or if you try to set it using the module. Other settings
should work fine.
