Hello,

I have two questions, related to the implementation of LTSP as a cybercafé.

First question : I am using a Mepis with KDE and I would like to get rid of 
the icons (partitions, CD-ROM and floppy) that are automatically displayed on 
a new user's desktop. After hours of search, I still could not locate which 
file I should modify and put as such in /etc/skel.

The second question is about the local media. It works fine and I would like 
to put icons on the desktop that are corresponding to the local media (CDROM 
and Floppy). I use a cybercafé management software (DireqCafé 
http://www.silentcoder.co.za/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=DireqCafe ) that 
generates 'temporary' users and tickets with usernames to log one's in. 

The users are generated using the /etc/skel, but as nobody can guess which 
ticket (corresponding to a 'temporary' user) will be used on which machine, 
it is not relevant to generate a desktop icon pointing to :
smb://nobody@<192.168.0.2>/drives
if the session happens on the machine 192.168.0.10. 
The customer may be surprised to read the CD of another customer and not his 
own.

So my question is : is there a way to retrieve the name or IP of the 
thin-client that is being used by the customer ? The icons could then point 
to a little script that would itself display the content of the relevant 
local media.

Many thanks in advance for your tips and advice,

Catherine
