Where can I find an archive of the mailing list? Yesterday I tried looking through the one at sourceforge, but it didnt show *any* messages. And today it seems to just give me an "ERROR Forum not found". I'm trying to access it via the link on the ltsp.org site [http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=2544]. > JTRJ> For example, I'd like to be able to have a user insert an audio cd and have it >play on their workstation only. > > local-apps, then use some command-line (or X) cd-player controlling > software? I hope that's not to hard to do. Never did myself though. I haven't found too much information on what exactly is "Local-Apps". Obviouslly they run on the local machine, but do they have to reside on the local machine (actual program residing there)? From what I have read, it sounded like it ran a local copy of the software on the local machine, something I can not do if I don't have a diskdrive in it. I will attempt to research local-apps further, in any case. > JTRJ> I am also curious about the local X-Terminal.

I found this about 5 seconds after posting to the list. "Doh!". :-) James
