Hi Jim,
Sorry for the long silence. Had some problems with my ISP. I am resending this mail to
your home address at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (with the attachment). And a tracer copy to the discussion list (sans
attachment).
There's a problem in sending out may mails. For a quick fix I'm sending this out at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] However,
you can reply in any of these addresses just in case the first one does not work for
you.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
or at the ltsp board. Thanks again.
regards,
phil

Hi Jim,
I was able to 'hammer-out' a few things about my LTSP installation 'experience'. I
don't know if it's of any
use to anybody. I feel it should have been part of some 'howto' somewhere. Anyway, i
think you are the best
judge as to what is relevant and what isn't. Feel free to 'hack-it-out' as needed.
We'll, my few cents worth.....
cheers,
phil
