You do this: ltsp-build-client --late-packages "$desktop_environment_or_window_manager $other_apps" alternately, after you've already built an LTSP chroot: sudo ltsp-chroot apt-get install $desktop_environment_or_window_manager $other_apps in either case, then set LTSP_FATCLIENT=true in lts.conf. that's pretty much it. I don't think it matters if you use xdm or gdm on the server, but the thin clients should probably be using ldm, which is the default. -Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
