That's where I want to have them, only in the client! Let's put it this way, instead of doing PXE (which I cannot because of the platform) I want to start out with the client environment preloaded, and then go on as usual (I have installed many other "normal" PXE clients, but this is an old iMac that cannot do PXE and I have been looking for an alternative solution. > You simply need to PXE-boot your computer and establish a traditional > LTSP session but I have the feeling you want to run everything locally > and only use the server to run your applications.

All I want is to use the very minimal installation I already have. I have the server already running. It looks as if it should be easy to run the client from disk instead of booting it over the network. And the, of course, everything would be running in the server, but fuse, pulseaudio, nbd and X. I hope this time I did a better job of explaining it.
