Very cool.  I was hoping if I posted the custom file someone with more
knowledge than myself would be able to pull the one little piece from it and
simplify things.

I already installed a server as a demo with some existing Blueberry iMacs last
Friday.  Hopefully they will decide to make the switch over the summer.  

All of these additions should make K12LTSP a simple solution for mac based
schools.

Thanks again for the extra work.

Now for sound.......... :-)
