Tony I've not played with the debian version, you say it's the same, but there is a worry: Title Debian Etch: failed NFS mount but you are talking about ltsp-update-image update-image is for the nbd mount of a squash file system NFS mounts the whole /opt/ltsp/i386 Use wireshark to watch for lts.conf being sought/loaded. It's more tricky: If your video-card does not support 1600x1200 then you can specify it, but it wont be used! I use nvidia only, I hear intel and ati have good offerings, after that you are alone (trying to work out if it works). IMHO you are biting off too big a chunk, trying to do too much out-of-the-norm stuff all at one. Start slowly, get it working then add the frills like WideScreen Me? I'd use ubuntu cause I know it's easy and know how it works :-) (Heck I use the ubuntu squash image on CentOS a) it works b) easy to update and change c) lots of help when problems arise) James ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
