Dear Bryn, I have setup LTSP4 with Local Application enabled. And I am using Mozilla Firebird 0.7 running as local app on thin clients. All I did was, I downloaded all the tarballs from ltsp website and compiled the whole thing. It took nearly 4 hours. Then I used the ltsp root. Then I unzipped the Mozilla Firebird tgz in the ltsp root. Copied all the required libraries from the main OS into the ltsp root. And Firebird was working as a local app on the thin clients. I have followed the procedure as mentioned by Jim. Only place I have deviated is that I am not using ssh to run the local app, instead I am using rsh. Reason being that I have nearly 40 odd thin clients and nearly 1000 users. I have added Flash plugins into the browser and copied the necessary library files into ltsp root. So far I have not faced any major problem with the browser except that it is a bit slow and needs 128MB RAM on thin client to work properly. I have also faced problem with javascripts ( on certain sites the button don't work properly ). Otherwise it is more stable than Netscape 4.77 that was available with LTSP3.0
Just to add, my thin clients are used only for browsing internet and my setup is Mandrake Linux 9.1 with Icewm.
