1.Something weird happened when I tried yum update. It started downloading 127 files mostly with fc5 in the name. 2. How can I set it up so that the yum first looks for the files in my http directory so I only have to download files once. Using this method how can I add the latest updates to this directory and save those files for any future installations? Every time I install I learn more about how the system works which is good. At the same time I want to make it as easy as possible for anyone else to pick up and use the system. Thanks in advance.

Instead of downloading the iso files I downloaded the /i386 directory of k12ltsp6 <a href="http://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/K12LTSP/6.0.0-32bit/i386/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> http://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/K12LTSP/6.0.0-32bit/i386/ </a> I was able to install from these files using PXE boot with http install. The trouble is ltsp didn't work out of the box as it used to. I had to use ltspadmin (For the first tiem ever!) At first I thought it was because I changed the ip address of the server from <a href="http://192.168.0.254" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">192.168.0.254</a> to <a href="http://192.168.0.253" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> 192.168.0.253</a> but after installing again I found it was because the needed services were not running like tftp, dhcpd, xdmcp, etc. I have got it running now using ltspadmin but I am afraid I might have missed some of Erics special tricks. Should I download the isos and start again. Or is there some way to fix the situation. I want to install again soon (reinstalling over my current k12ltsp5 server to set up loadbearing arrangement.) I would rather it worked out of the box. Who knows someone else might need to take over running the computer system here and I want to keep everything as simple as possible. </blockquote></div>
