Ok Petter, thanks. I'll undo the xdebc change too your arguments won.
:-) By the way, don't you have any input on the keyboard problem
described by me some messages ago ?

What about a possible new one that i see using the latest package
(both server and client with a fresh chroot) with a 2.4 kernel in the
client that is: The system stops during the boot. It run well each
daemon and isn't running any ttys (i tried set -x in bootlogd and it
exit with 0 after that the system stops). Changing the kernel from 2.4
for 2.6 in the client hides the bug. Are you using 2.6 only ?

Closing, i would like to comment that i'm testing initng (for my CDD
only) to see if i can speed up the client boot and deuglify it a bit.
It needs a 2.6 kernel and a ltsp-start-client init "wrapper", that i'm
writing and will submit to the initng Debian maintainer, everything
else seems to be ok.

Thanks,
