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!

> Release Notes for K12LTSP 4.2.0 (release candidate #1)
> ============================================================================
>
> 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.
>
>
