Hi!

I am in the mood to have some fun again. How do one go about to upgrade
over the net with yum or apt? I suppose i need the address to the
repository and do a dist-upgrade. I have release 4.0.1, fully upgraded. I
can afford a hoosed server since its x-mas holiday here in Sweden. Thougth
i could be a guinea pig for once ;D

/cheers!

> ============================================================================
>
> What's new:
>
> * K12LTSP 4.2.0 is based on Fedora Core 3. Be sure to read the FC3
>    release notes at http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc3/x86/
>
> * The installer media check has been turned off by default. This check
>    does not work if the ISO were burned on a 2.6.x kernel without
>    being "padded" (i.e. the "-pad" option in cdrecord). If you want to
>    run the media check, you may still do so by specifying the following
>    at the CD boot prompt:
>
>        linux mediacheck
>
> * K12LTSP "meta" packages are now included. These are "empty" packages
>    that contain dependancies for all of the packages in a particular
>    group. This makes it easy to install a group of packages by
>    specifying only the meta package. For example "yum install
> k12ltsp-core"
>    would install off the core K12LTSP packages. Meta packages included
>    are:
>          k12ltsp-core
>          k12ltsp-education
>          k12ltsp-education-devel
>          k12ltsp-extras
>          k12ltsp-scripts
>          k12ltsp-utils
>
>
> * Tuxpaint now has a graphical configuration utility: tuxpaint-config
>
> * The up2date and yum packages no longer need to be modified
>    to included the K12LTSP repository information. These config
>    files are now in the fedora-release and k12ltsp-release
>    packages
>
> * The up2date and yum repositories are now mirrored at the
>    University of Tennessee at Knoxville
>
> * The default web browser has changed from Mozilla to Firefox.
>    Firefox as been modified to use the K12LTSP bookmarks.
>
> * The LTSP Build Environment (ltsp_i386-lbe) is no longer
>    included on the install CDs in order to free up some space.
>    Use apt, up2date, or yum if you wish to install it.
>

> The following K12LTSP applications have been upgraded:
