Okay, this *might* work ;-)  it might also eat your server, so don't
try this on a production system... *testing* only for the moment.

This is for the 32bit version only, 64bit version will be ready soon.

1) Install FC5

    Take all of the default settings, except:

    eth0: IP=192.168.0.254 Mask=255.255.255.0
    eth1: DHCP

    firewall rules: trust eth0

2) install the k12ltsp-release package. The final location of this file
    will change, for the current test-release, this will work:

     rpm -Uhv ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/K12LTSP/testing/5.0.0-32bit/i386/Fedora/RPMS/k12ltsp-release-5.0.0-0.i386.rpm


3) install the K12LTSP meta-packages:

 	yum install k12ltsp-core k12ltsp-education k12ltsp-extras

4) run the following command:

 	/opt/ltsp/templates/k12linux/K12Linux-LTSP-initialize

5) cross your fingers and reboot your server

6) test it out...
