[K12OSN] Re: "press enter to login"

[Gideon Romm]

I figured I'd just send them along to the list.

1. Back up your /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/screen.d/rdesktop file
2. Replace with the attached rdesktop-screen (remember to chmod 755)
3. place the rdesktop.wrapper file in /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/bin  (also,
chmod 755)

Let 'er rip!

PS:  Usual caveats about listening to some guy on the listserv apply (in
terms of the computers coming to life and destroying the world on
you...)
