ubuntu 10.04: problems with thin clients hanging on boot

[john]

Hi all,

To reply to myself it seems like these options either aren't
documented in lts.conf man pages that ship with Ubuntu 10.04 or aren't
available. I see that the Hostname option is
documented here:

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man5/lts.conf.5.html

I think I'll give it a shot and see if the options available under Lucid.

I sort of wonder if running Ubuntu LTS for LTSP is a bad idea. There
is always some bug that we have to live with or work around that's
been fixed in more recent versions that won't be backported. Of course
we REALLY don't want to go to gnome3. sigh.
