I just successfully booted both an Atom based Shuttle XS35 and and an
old Diskless Workstations LTSP-150 from a Fedora 15 installation.
On first login I received a complaint that Gnome 3 wasn't able to run,
but when that was dismissed I was left with a reasonably functional desktop.
I've tried running Firefox 7.01 and LibreOffice 3.3.3 and they both work
well. Firefox 7 is noticeably faster than the Firefox 3 I was running
from Fedora 11 on the same hardware.
The highlights of how to do it are:
1) Modify /etc/sysconfig/ltspdist to allow install on F15
2) ltsp-build-client --release 14
3) ltsp-build-client --release 11 --chroot ltsp-f11
It would be good if I didn't need to modify ltspdist. I'll write up
complete instructions if anyone is interested.
I'm very happy to be able to be running Fedora 15. It's nice to have
the latest Firefox and LibreOffice.
