Perfect -- hopefully I can try this tomorrow. > > Or is there an easier way to boot/install from the Classroom server > > PowerPC version from here? > > > > http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/ports/releases/gutsy/release/ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPCrossArchSetup says for the first client to boot from an ubuntu live CD. I assume that means either the Desktop or the Classroom server at the above URL. Does it matter? I wonder because the Desktop CD on that page says "You will need at least 320MB of RAM to install from this CD" -- I have not checked but poking around Google it could be that these machines only have a tenth of that. Is there another way to populate /opt/lstp/ppc on a i386 server than booting off a Live CD for PowerPC?
