[K12OSN] Second crack at a FC5-based build of K12LTSP

[Roy]

Eric,

Awesome! I'm trying it right now. Is this 64bit? 

One thing I am bummed out about is the way they broke the sata_nv. This is
preventing me from installing my raid with the FC5 code. I have been using
the soft array for my "/home" drive. It used to work on FC5t2. Do you know
any tricks on how I can select a different driver when I do "linux noprobe"?
Sorry to bother you with this but I am not getting any answers from my bug
posting.

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".

  >> I have not checked any of the applications, I have no idea if they work
>> or not. Several reported missing dependencies, so at least a few are
