It is not so silly, sometimes we all get confused with what is run by the server and by the client. In LTSP client are just a display. The server do all the job. It's very like you were using the server's keyboard and screen. The chroot content is download when the client boot. Basicaly, the chroot should contains only the minimal system to have an X display and to connect to the server. If you need drivers (like for nvidia cards) for your clients, they must be installed in the chroot. All software a user want to run are to be installed on the server. This is just a basical description, there is some cases where it is better to install softwares in the chroot. regards xavier ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
