Yeah, I think it's just a freak problem here. It's not hard to edit out
the rhgb in the grub config, so consider this solved unless more people
start to complain.

Yeah, I'm using BlueCurve. But as I said in my last email, it seems to
only come up with the default icons when I'm already logged in elsewhere
in the LTSP lab (Or VNC).

Well, I already replaced the NIC with a diffrent nic, and the problem
seems to be solved.

Unfortunetly, this was not the case... unless I missed it. It asked me
to remove the old configuration, then configure the new card. I didn't
see any "migrate" button, which would have been nice. But then again, I
do usualy zip through those kudzu screens. Sm:)e.
