Please have a look at the documentation. You'll find your answers here: - Chapter 14. X-Windows parameters http://www.ltsp.org/~sbalneav/LTSPManual.html#id2698612 extract: The thin client uses X.org's own auto configuration mode to let X determine what it thinks is installed in the box. > 2) Many a times i have noticed that, any changes made to the server > for example installing applications like thunderbird, Java etc.. > reflect on the LTSP client immediately without doing a > ltsp-update-image?

You'll find your answers here: - Introduction to LTSP and Thin Client Computing http://www.ltsp.org/~sbalneav/LTSPManual.html#intro extract: 1. The thin client only takes care of the basic functions like display, keyboard, mouse and sound. 2. The server does the heavy weightlifting. All the applications run on the server, and they simply display on the thin client. - How LTSP Works http://www.ltsp.org/~sbalneav/LTSPManual.html#id2696486 > 3) Any USB stick inserted on the server, appears on all the LTSP > client, is this a bug?

Hence, it is normal to see everything happenning on the server. So, you see the USB stick on the desktop. Try opening it from one client: it is now mounted with the rights of the user connected on the client, like in any Linux/Unix workstation. regards Xavier [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
