I completed an initial build of K12LTSP 4.2.4EL-32bit. After beating
my head against the monitor for a while, this one is not much different
than 4.2.3EL-32bit + all the current updates. The two different packages
are a newer version of tuxmath and the addition of Fl_Teachtool.

I have added fl_teachertool to the repositories if you want to test
that out seperatly (yum install fl_teachertool).

The new tuxmath package is here:

   ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/K12LTSP/testing/tuxmath-4.2.4EL/

if you want to give that a spin. I'll add it to the repositories after
I test it a little more.


If you want to test out a fresh install, you can grab the ISOs here:

   ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/K12LTSP/testing/4.2.4EL-32bit
   rsync -Pav k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us::testing/4.2.4EL-32bit/ .


Note that the installer has an updated kernel, it may support newer
hardware that would not work with the 4.2.3EL installer.


I'm going to work on a "k12ltsp-plus" repository (or repositories)
that will hopefully include the latest version of LTSP and Openoffice.org.


On the next build, I'll try to squeeze out a 4.2.4EL-64bit test as well.

Now back to my regularly scheduled head-beating-against-the-monitor ;-)
