Very good. Glad to see you are on the right track.
Your project is certainly a worthwhile endeavor.

I'm on a statewide list serv for other IT types in schools and counties in CA. When I started this I asked for input from all my counterparts, hoping someone else already had it working.

Basically I was told "We've been trying to do this, it's a great idea - hope you're successful, and if you make it work we want it."

So, I'm not the only one who owes you thanks.

By the way - I just finished the last remaster with the stripped down desktop - works like a charm - the settings were in /etc/skel/.fluxbox/menu. Only left the ability to change desktop resolution.

Thanks again.

Now I have to sit down and organize my notes so I can post this to my web site for my counterparts to use - I plan on letting them start with my version that already has the Citrix client working - all they'll have to do is change thier appsrv.ini settings.

Hi there SCOEIT!

I'm glad things worked out for you. If you make a HOWTO of the remaster you made you're more than welcome to post it in this thread. It might be useful to other DSL users too.

Keep on having fun out there,

I have read a good portion of these posts and am still reading, but is it my understanding that it would be possible to take a harddrive installed...and make a live cd out of it that would include CRON schedules and such?

I have completed and tested picture frame scripts..so that I can mount the laptop screen into a frame and hang it on the wall, but before I rip the laptop apart I would like to be able to be able to CLONE the drive so that if something were to go wrong I could lay it down on a 2nd computer and begin from there.

Ghost doesn't seem to work..so this remastering looks good.

This is what I want to do:

Create a cd that contains all of my scripts, cron schedules, installed programs. I want to be able to take this cd and put it into a 2nd laptop and boot up and then click "install to harddrive".

Am I anywhere close to understanding this stuff?
