Thanks for solving udev fstab editing.

Is it safe to install ltspfsd in any machine? which version?

In TCOS to resolve this issues with some debian packages I have made a
small trick: "package caching"

This will scan debian package URI, download with wget and uncompress
in /var/cache/tcos/packages/PKG_NAME


# gentcos -instpkg PKG_NAME

With this ugly trick I can install 2 packages that conflicts in a Debian
host.

Later when I build boot images I read (in some cases, not
all) /var/cache/tcos/PKG_NAME and copy some files from there.


Packages that allow caching:

discover, libdiscover2, discover-data
esound, libesd0
pulseaudio-esound-compat
ltspfsd


In other part I have been working on a thin client device manager:
tcos-devices-ng

It's a simple systray icon which menu is dynamically generated from thin
client hardware info.

For example we have a thin client with 2 optical devices and a hard disk
with 2 partitions we will see this 4 items in menu.

Image is better than thousands of letters, and video is more better too:

(flash movie, see at bottom-right icon):

Screenshot of the newest version with hard disk support:

Some technical info of old tcos-devices model:
http://wiki.tcosproject.org/Utils/TcosDevices


Can read ext2/3, vfat, reiserfs, xfs or ntfs (with rw support thanks to
ntfs-3g)

Works so good with USB flashdisk too, and mount of this devices is
unattended.


tcos-devices-ng is a python script translatable with gettext (english
and spanish at this moment), sources is avalaible at my SVN:
