Stefan, Sorry. Didn't mean to come across so strongly when I pointed out that the Debian tarball was only a pre-release.
You make an excellent point about the need for better documentation for LTSP-5. There's bits of documentation floating around, but not much time has been spent pulling it all together into a coherent collection. Back in the Days of LTSP 1 thru 4, I spent an enormous amount of time trying to keep things documented. I think that's one of the things that contributed greatly to the success and widespread use of LTSP. With LTSP-5, I've been much less involved and haven't had the time to work on docs. Lots of other folks have worked on docs, but like I said earlier, someone needs to help get them all pulled together.
