Ubuntu 10.10 amd64 (fat) client and server

1. I installed hplip in my chroot, trying to mimic a full Ubuntu
desktop installation that was in use on my client. When I launch
System>Administration>Printing on my booted fat client, the Printing
app opens with the title "Printing - 192.168.85.16", which is the IP
address of my LTSP server. I don't recall having to separately install
a cups server on my regular Ubuntu desktop. Is that an extra
requirement with a fat client, or what is the right way to install my
printer.

2. The CPU frequency scaling governor is set to Performance by
default. The /etc/init.d/ondemand file exists in the chroot, but the
governor does not change, even after the 60-second sleep period and
I'm not sure why.

3. It is commonly said that Ubuntu LTSP uses NBD instead of NFS
because it is faster, but my experience on an Athlon X2 is that
nbdproxy maxes the CPU around 60 MB/s, while NFS maxes the hdd around
80 MB/s with much lower CPU usage. Am I doing it wrong? Can I
configure my fat client to use NFS only in the same way it can be done
with thin clients?

4. I would be happy to add some of these clarifications to the wiki.
The newest page I found is at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/FatClients. Should I
start a new page for 10.10?
