Hi Giacomo,

Unless you specifically want to run ltsp-pnp, then you probably just need to make your image a fat client image.

Hope the notes below help.

Here's my notes: ***New chroot image (takes about 30 minutes on this server with our internet speed)***
If you’ve built an image previously (maybe back up first your image first?): 
sudo rm -r /opt/ltsp/*
sudo ltsp-build-client --fat-client ***Copy apt sources to chroot***
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
apt-get install gnome-session-fallback ubuntu-restricted-extras hydrogen mypaint audacity vlc tuxmath tuxpaint cups-pdf scratch Update, upgrade and install software into the chroot 
sudo ltsp-chroot -m -r
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install gnome-session-fallback ubuntu-restricted-extras firefox hydrogen mypaint audacity vlc tuxmath epoptes-client tuxpaint scratch Reimage and restart services
sudo ltsp-update-image; sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys; sudo service nbd-server restart; sudo service tftpd-hpa restart; sudo service isc-dhcp-server restart Here's my lts.conf /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
