Kermit, Unless you build the ltsp package on your own, LTSP is pretty broken on EL6 (or 7 for that matter). Anything in any repository is old . It's caused consterrnation among many of us who've been using EL/Fedora for a long time. Probably not what you want to hear.
If you must be on EL, the server bits still install and you can use a client image built on a different distro, e.g. Debian. The latest,er, last, server rpms are here (afaik): http://repo.inode0.com/repo/ltsp/rpm2/el6/ Good luck, William > Message: 2 > Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2015 02:48:45 +0000 > From: "Short, Kermit" <k_sh...@lanl.gov> > Subject: [Ltsp-discuss] LTSP on RHEL6 > To: "ltsp-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net" > <ltsp-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net> > Message-ID: > <6b6377ee93327f459669902a516ad6da95510...@ecs-exg-p-mb05.win.lanl.gov> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > > Greetings! > I've got a fairly straightforward RHEL environment except for two things: > > > 1) We get all packages (including stuff from the EPEL) from an internal > satellite server > > 2) We are behind an http proxy. > > I believe number 2 is causing me problems when I try to run > ltsp-build-client, and I cannot find any switch or option for specifying a > proxy host for this command.
