How did the install go?

Ideally, remote access to the server, even temporarily
through a dial-up modem, is desired. Most BRLUG
members are scattered throughout south Louisiana, so
physically showing up at a site to configure the LTSP
server is difficult.

Is it possible to get a modem connected to the box for
remote configuration by an experienced LTSP admin?

I'll post a message to the general at brlug.net list
asking for volunteers.

Unfortunately, I've been very busy with work and
personal projects lately. But, I appreciate you taking
the time to send out these reports.

Are there specific questions that you need answered?
Is there some topic you need researched?
