Rerun the command several times, adding packages.
Getting late and I'm not sure I exactly follow what you are doing here, but here is a suggestion. Assuming this is all being done on a Debian based server and probably LTSP5.. Can you "sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/apt/sources.list" then "chroot /opt/ltsp/i386" then "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get install foo"? If this isn't using LTSP5 and my suggestion is way off, provide a little more detail so those with some knowledge on the list can better help you :-) Jim -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by the Cotter Technology Department, and is believed to be clean. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
