Subject: [K12OSN] Second crack at a FC5-based build of K12LTSP
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.
ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/K12LTSP/testing/5/
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)
> The "Add Additional Software" links are broken.
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.
>> Be sure to check the "LTSP" box. Minor bug, I'll fix it in the next
>> build.
> Fixed, but now the reverse problem exists. If you do a normal Fedora
> install,
> you have to select "Custom" and uncheck the "LTSP" box. If I can't
automate
> this, I can at least make it so you don't have to select "Custom" in
order
> to turn of "LTSP".
