On a related note. The build-ltsp-chroot step ALWAYS fails on my
servers. This has happened since 7.x and onward. On different servers
from different vendors.
This issue seems to be that I have multiple nics in the machine and
the installer doesn't know/doesn't want to arbitrarily assign my nics.
The fix for me is to delete and rebuild the chroot after install. I
would guess this problem has cropped up for many new users, and
resulted in many "ltsp doesn't work for me" complaints.
cheers,
John
