[K12OSN] How to update K12LTSP-5.0.0EL-32bit chroot

[Terrell Prude' Jr.]

The way I always did it when I needed a specific set of binaries for the 
clients was to copy the entire /opt/ltsp/i386 subdirectory (or 
/opt/ltsp/ppc, or /opt/ltsp/sparc, as appropriate for my architecture) 
to my K12LTSP server.  Beforehand, I would typically rename the existing 
/opt/ltsp/i386 subdir. to, say, /opt/ltsp/i386.orig.  These binaries 
should have *zero* affect on the server itself, since they run only on 
the client.

Give that a shot and let us know.
