Make sure that the ppc directory is exported. You should see a line like
this in /etc/exports:
/opt/ltsp/ppc  192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(ro,no_root_squash,sync)
If you don't see a "/opt/ltsp/ppc" line, you can either add that line by
hand or run (if you have a stock install)
/opt/ltsp/templates/k12linux/setup-update.sh
Afterwards, run:
exportfs -a
That should do it.

This worked great!  Thank you.  The line was already in the file so I'm
not understanding why it didn't work in the first place, but running
"exportfs -a" solved the problem.  Thanks.

> Second, I have another server, which happens to be identical to the
one justdiscussed, that I updated so I can work with the schoolbell
program.  Whileschoolbell was installed and works on the first server,
it does not on thesecond server.  And, as I said, these are identical
servers and configurations.

What does the logs say?  /var/log/schoolbell

[Selzler, Bruce] 
The problem is that there is no schoolbell log.  Even though Yum is
reporting that its installed.  Any ideas?
