About:
Linux makes a great platform for deploying diskless workstations that boot from a network server. The LTSP is an open source project to create the administration tools that will make setting up a diskless Linux workstation easier.

Release focus: Minor feature enhancements

Changes:
ltsbin and bin were included in the package twice. The extra copies were removed. The X11R6/lib/modules directory was removed. This is primarily for additional X functionality, such as TouchScreens and digitizer pads. The modules will become part of a new package. A new feature was added to the telnet included with BusyBox. It will now pass the terminal type to the remote host. This patch has been submitted to (and accepted by) the BusyBox people. The way the runlevels work within etc/inittab was modified. You can now specify different runlevels for each workstation. Multiple telnet sessions to a remote host are now supported. The install scripts for Redhat 7.1 and Mandrake 8.0 were modified to set command line options for syslogd in the /etc/sysconfig/syslog file. The size of this distribution was reduced from roughly 18mb down to 12mb.
