[K12OSN] Adding k12linux EL to existing centos install

[Peter Scheie]

You can, but I think it would be easier to do a clean install of K12LTSP and 
then copy all your existing user IDs and files to the K12LTSP server.  Getting 
the LTSP parts to work right is trickier than copying a bunch of user IDs and 
homedirs from one machine to another.
