Chris,

Thanks for your post...Looks like what I need has already been developed
and is being used.  I downloaded ltsp to my FC5 server without
difficulties.  I am not sure how to use the run-o-matic.net set yet, but
am not finished with my study.  

Jim, I am not sure I understand your advice.  The units I want to use do
have floppy discs, and CD's.  I will probably have some additional
questions once I get into the details.

Thanks to all of you for help!!!

Greg
