Hi Everyone,

I'm currently using an Ubuntu LTSP setup, that works well however it's time to upgrade hardware and I'm having trouble getting Ubuntu to install now.

Anyway, I installed CentOS 6.2 then followed the K12Linux setup instructions and I continue to fail during the ltsp-build-client process.

Below is the error message I receive, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Retrieving http://mirror.ancl.hawaii.edu/linux/scientific/6.1/i386/updates/security/repodata/repomd.xml ...OK
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/imgcreate/errors.py:40: DeprecationWarning: BaseException.message has been deprecated as of Python 2.6

error: LTSP client installation ended abnormally

Thanks,

Those mirrors went down.

You will have to edit//etc/ltsp/kickstart/Fedora/el6/ltsp-i386.ks /to
update the listed URLS. This is pretty straightforward, look at the
existing URL in ltsp-i386.ks and replace as much of it as needed with
the new url (which would be an HTTP mirror, and you can find a list of
those at http://www.scientificlinux.org/download/mirrors). If you are
not performing a standard client install you may have to edit a
different file.

Hope this helps.
