Yea, the lts is a really kewl project. I created a boot image that i wish i could have gotten onto an eprom, but it worked fine from a floppy. I was able to set the server up and then have the terminals boot into both X and console moded. Was a fun project, too bad it got cancel because of lack of interest by management. They went the Citrix route. Yuck!
