Making sound more optional and dropping the > depend to the sound packages is not planned. i don't see why a server-side dependency is required- the terminals do not even have a dependency on any sound utilities anymore. this seems like a perfect use of the Recommends field- something that on most installs would be present, but not absolutely mandatory. there should be a way to get the bare-bones install, without any bells or whistles, that doesn't involve hacking the ltsp-build-client script. if the defaults are to install all the bells and whistles, why make it hard for people to customize to their particular needs? live well, vagrant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
