[K12OSN] New LTSP kernel for testing, Was: Monitor Problems

[Lewis Holcroft]

Eric,

Sorry I did not try this until Friday. We just set up four more servers 
as part of the project and it does appear to have solved the problem I 
was having.

I did not want to install this into the production that I had just 
rolled out. Well not until most of the issues I had were resolved, and 
this was low on the list.

I will make the change on the production machines on tuesday (Never 
good to introduce changes on a Monday) and I'll let you now if it 
causes any problems.

Thanks

Lewis
