If you are using Edubuntu Gutsy, there are changes to be aware of. The
lts.conf settings are in a new location. The default color depth is a
bit higher, so older clients will not boot without modifying the default
color depth. This is a good lts.conf for those migrating from the K12LTSP
more /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
[default]
X_COLOR_DEPTH=16
LDM_DIRECTX=True
X_MODE_0=1024x768
LOCALDEV=True
SOUND=True
NBD_SWAP=True
SYSLOG_HOST=server
