[K12OSN] Very frustrating!

["Terrell Prudé Jr."]

There's nothing wrong with those "old" thin clients.  I use LTSP 4.x as 
well with K12LTSP 5.0EL., and it works great for me.  And yep, one of my 
clients is a Pentium-MMX 166 with an S3 Trio64+ video card.

As for that printer, sure, I can believe it stopped working.  This "hang 
the printer off the thin client" bit is a hack.  Seriously, just pick up 
a cheapie print server for that printer, have the K12LTSP server itself 
talk to it (via the network), and be done with it.  You're spending way 
too much time on this.
