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

> 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".
