Not exactly. The LTSP directory is a chrooted directory only used to send the basical system to the thin-clients at boot. It is not used after that. > Is it possible to just move the old ltsp installation to the new hd's?? > Important are the users and their /homedirs. Don't be confuse with the LTSP part and the software and user accounts part: - LTSP is only the little chrooted system that is downloaded by the thin- clients at boot, plus the various servers softwares (dhcp, tftp, ssh, NFS/NBD), in charge to deliver the chrooted system or the access to the /home directory. Those servers are not installed in the chroot part, but in the normal file system of the server. - On the server reside all the software and user accounts that the thin- clients will access. So for your new installation, you just need to setup the LTSP and copy the user's account datas (/etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /home directory) on the new system.
