If you do this, then the clients will see that the files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ are soft links pointing to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/. In other words, they will point at themselves, and it won't work. Remember that the server sees both directories, but the clients only see /opt/ltsp/i386/. If you want to, you can move the fonts from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts on the server to /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, and then ln -s /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/. However, I would use XFS if you can. It's simpler to manage. -David ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
