Sorry, I have missed this.

I am going to test the other proposed solutions and I will let you know.

Thanks,

In chrootless ltsp, the server is a template of the clients.<br>

<br>
Yes you can uninstall packages from there.<br>
/etc is for administrators, /usr is for packages.<br>
I&#39;m not sure what &quot;virtual-ltsp&quot; aims to be.<br>
<br>
&gt; Another possible solution, which would be &quot;clean&quot; in my opin=

&gt; the server after the creation of the chroot directory does affect the =

That&#39;s just like `cp -a / /opt/ltsp/i386`. There&#39;s no need to get a=
