[Ltsp-discuss] Mouse speed

2008-09-05 Thread Rolf-Werner Eilert
This is a question for LTSP 4.2 There are different types of optical mice here on my system, some of them have 400, some 800 dpi. For the faster ones, I defined X_MOUSE_RESOLUTION = 800 in lts.conf, but there is no effect at all. They still run rather fast. Is there any other way of achieving

Guys- That doesn't work, because tftpd runs in a chroot'd environment. No symlinks allowed (you kinda would break the security that way). That's why it is not in /etc/ltsp (which would be logical). And, moving the tftpboot directory is undesirable, as well. So, that's where we are. -G On

Sure, that way will work, but usually the intent of keeping it in /etc is so that you can backup, say, /etc only and recover easily or, move /etc to another drive or some such. Simply symlinking it in the way you do has the only convenience of not having to type or remember the path to tftpboot.

I've seen this page: http://wiki.debian.org/LTSP/Howto which says to use a special repository for LTSP if you're running Debian Etch. What about Debian Lenny? What's the best way to get the most up-to-date LTSP packages for Lenny? (or do the Lenny repos already have the most up-to-date?)
