Install new software in chroot
chroot /opt/ltsp/i386
mount /proc
yum install firefox
umount /proc
exit
launch app as a local app
/usr/bin/ltsp-localapps /usr/bin/firefox
If network apps don't work then you may need to setup nat in your
firewall on your external nic
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
You can also set this up with the gui program system-config-firewall

In /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf<BR>
<BR>
LOCAL_APPS_MENU=True<BR>
LOCAL_APPS_MENU_ITEMS = mozilla-firefox <BR>
<BR>
To find the apps to list out for LOCAL_APPS_MENU_ITEMS, look under /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/applications List them out without the .desktop file. This actually substitutes in the menu the local app version instead of the version on the server.<BR>
