ltsp-build-client

ltsp-build-client(8)													      ltsp-build-client(8)

NAME

       ltsp-build-client - Builds an LTSP client system for use with the LTSP server

SYNOPSIS

       ltsp-build-client  <options>

DESCRIPTION

       ltsp-build-client builds an ltsp client chroot using standard packages for use with the ltsp server.  This chroot installation  can be mod-
       ified in a number of ways as  outlined  in  the	OPTIONS  section.   If	present,  defaults  will  be  read  from  the  configuration  file
       /etc/ltsp/ltsp-build-client.conf,  and  will  be overridden by using the command line options. ltsp-build-client is usually run as the root
       user.  Visit http://www.ltsp.org for more information.

OPTIONS

       Not all options are available on all installations. For a complete list of available options, use the --help and --extra-help options.

       --arch arch
		 Builds a chroot with the specified architecture. Must be a supported architecture of the distribution, and  compatible  with  the
		 host architecture.  Defaults vary by distribution.

       --base dir
		 Sets the default path for the ltsp chroots to be installed into. Defaults to /opt/ltsp/.

       --chroot file
		 Sets the default name for the ltsp chroot. Defaults to the architecture selected with --arch or the running architecture.

       --config file
		 Load configuration defaults from specified file. See CONFIG FILE below for more information.

       --exclude packages
		 Sets packages to exclude from the initial client chroot.

       --extra-help
		 Displays all available commandline options.

       --help	 Displays the ltsp-build-client help message.

       --mirror mirror_url
		 Select the mirror to download packages from. file:/// and http:// URLs are supported.

       --purge-chroot
		 Purges the existing LTSP chroot if present.

CONFIG FILE

       ltsp-build-client  will	read  a  configuration	file  to  override  built-in defaults. the default location for this configuration file is
       /etc/ltsp/ltsp-build-client.conf, and can be specified with the --conf commandline option.

       values are NAME="VALUE" pairs, with # representing commented lines. most commandline options have an equivalent. an  example  Debian  based
       system with an alternate base location, architecture, and distribution:

	# set alternate default location for ltsp chroot (--base)
	BASE="/srv/ltsp"
	# build an amd64 chroot by default (--arch)
	ARCH="amd64"
	# build a Debian sid environment (--dist)
	DIST="sid"
