Hi Guys first my rant is very mild, the ltsp folk have done a really awesome job, and it's been a pleasure to use and abuse, and as I said, this is OT. > Spill it out, what would you like to do? I'm sure if it was doable in > LBE, it can't be any more difficult now. I want to build a video recording system to boot from flash, is RO and has RW storage. ubuntu is a good distro to use. I'd like to know all about the the ltsp additions to /scripts, because ltsp-5 seems to be a very good fit for my needs. I'm upgrading a ltsp-3 POS business to ltsp-5 (1000s thin clients 100s customers world-wide. My customer, bless his granite-pig-headed stubbon ..., The server must be CentOS 5. I installed ltsp-5 on gutsy then moved the /opt/ltsp to a CentOS server, but I would like the boot splash to not say ubuntu or they will phreak :-) > No it's not.

I spent many hours looking, till eventually jeff waugh via the slug user list (Sydney LUG) told me that it was not documented. That's a pretty authorative proclamation !! The bottom line is that I want to do way-out fiddling and its frustrating to have to isolate and nuture every bit of hard stuff. ltsp-5 looks ideal for much of what I want to do.
