No, you have to update it separately, or run ltsp-build-client again. > - Can I log on a thin-client as a user set up on the server or do I set > that up in the chroot environment (ie chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 adduser)? Even though it installs from debs, the function of the chroot is still pretty much the same as the old LTSP chroot, it just boots up a basic system on the client, and then connect you to a remote session on the server. So yes, when you create a user on the server, it will be available on the clients, exactly as before. > - Are the user's files/config stored in /home or /opt/ltsp/i386/home ? It's stored at wherever the user's home directory is configured to be on the server, but not in the chroot. > Any information would be greatly appreciated since the documents on > Ubuntu's and Novell's sites are a bit small. I'd recommend you look at the Ubuntu wiki, it has more technical information than the Ubuntu website: http://wiki.ubuntu.com -Jonathan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
