Joseph, I'm new to this so take everything I say with a grain of salt :-)
To configure the way user desktop looks: it depends what window manager you use, from my understanding, icewm is very popular... download it, install it, place an executable text file .xsession containing "icewm" (without quotes of course :) in each users home dir and read the Ice docs to edit the menus (config files default to somewhere like /usr/lib/X11/icewm ... not sure off the top of my head). To configure individual programs: you'll notice that most programs create hidden files in your home directory, I logged in as a sample user and configured everything i needed to... I also had to change a few paths in OpenOffice by manual editing of some xml files, they needed to use environment variables for username. Will gladly share which files need to be changed with you if you use open office. Then just write a quick script to copy the files to each users home dir and set the correct permissions... I did this and it worked awesome for me! (not the most efficient for disk space though... I'm sure there is a some way to centralize the user settings... but if there is I don't know it!) If you're familiar with configuring user-profiles in winnt, this is somewhat similar (only way easier if you ask me). Does this help our should I just shut up and go hide in my hole again? :-) [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: >How would a person go about controlling the menus in ltsp for regular >users? > >I would like to setup the menus once and have new users use them. >-- >respectfully, Joseph - (606) 477-2355 x140 >========================================== > > > >------------------------------------------------------- >This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek >Welcome to geek heaven. >http://thinkgeek.com/sf >_____________________________________________________________________ >Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
