It's me being unclear, sorry about that. You'll find the news on the *main* page,
saying
January 1, 2002 - Updated Floppyd package for LTSP 3.0
Scott Balneaves <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> has supplied an updated floppyd package and
docs. Take a look at the
LTSP Documentation page for more info.
Clicking on the link sends you to the documentation section. It's the second item.

of the CPU one the server when it runs, but that's another story.

Possible. Scott would have to answer that. It does say on the instructions page that
you must run 3.0. Maybe he's being conservative, what do I know.
