I have uploaded a second test build of what will eventually become
K12LTSP 5.0. Same rules apply: this is not fully baked, don't expect it
to actually work, if it does happen to work don't use it in production,
and all of those other scary warnings.

rsync -Pav k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us::testing/5/ .
New New Notes:
This build is based on the official FC5 + all released updates. Previous
builds were based on FC5 test 3 or RawHide.
I think I have the SELinux/NFS issues ironed out. The default
"enforcing" mode should now work.
This build uses a month-old version of LTSP from CVS, not all of the
shiny new features are there. Packages for the latest-and-greatest LTSP
from CVS should be available soon, I just have a couple of packaging
building issues to fix.

DHCP now works (really this time)

All of the "Add Additional Software" links work, except one of them
(can't remember which one ;-). Just a repository issue, will be fixed
real-soon-now.
Still on the TODO list:
> Currently "root" cannot log in from a terminal. This is arguably a feature,
> not a bug.

> this, I can at least make it so you don't have to select "Custom" in order
> to turn of "LTSP".
