This ISO image of the LTSP-4.1 packages has been created to ease the pain of downloading the packages from the LTSP.org website.

Installing LTSP from a local drive:

Download and install the ltsp-utils package (either RPM or TGZ).
Download the ISO image from the URL above. Save it on your system. For this example, we'll put it in /tmp.
Make sure you are either logged in as root, or you've switched to super user using 'su -' (Notice the '-', it's important)
Run md5sum on the downloaded file, and make sure the result matches the number above.
md5sum ltsp-4.1-0.iso
Mount the ISO image, using the loopback device:
mount -o loop /tmp/ltsp-4.1-0.iso /mnt
Install the ltsp-utils package

If your system is RPM based (Redhat,Suse,Mandrake,...) you can install the ltsp-utils RPM package:
```
cd /mnt
rpm -ivh ltsp-utils-0.10-0.noarch.rpm
```
Or, if your system doesn't support RPM packages, you can install the TGZ package:
```
cp /mnt/ltsp-utils-0.10.tgz /tmp
cd /tmp
tar xvzf ltsp-utils-0.10.tgz
cd ltsp-utils
./install.sh
```
Whether you installed the RPM or the TGZ package, you'll end up with ltspadmin in /usr/sbin.
Run ltspadmin as root.
From the main menu in ltspadmin, choose:
"Configure the installer options"
Specify the pathname to the files:
file:///mnt

Notice that the value MUST be in the form of a URL, and also, notice that there are 3 slashes '///'. The first 2 slashes are part of the URL specification ("file://"), the 3rd slash is for the root directory on your server.
Leave the remaining options as is.
Once you've specified the location of the packages, you can proceed to install LTSP-4.1 by following the LTSP Installation guide.
Unmount the ISO image from /mnt:
umount /mnt

Please report any problems you have with this ISO image to the ltsp-discuss mailing list, or contact me on the #ltsp IRC channel on irc.freenode.net.

Thank you,
