## AVAILABILITY

Part of the **ltsp** package and the latest versions are available in source form from  *https://launchpad.net/products/ltsp*.

## FILES

*/etc/ltsp/\<tool\>.conf*: Upon execution the tool will read a configuration file to override built-in defaults.

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"

*/etc/ltsp/ltsp-server.conf*: Each LTSP server tool will read a generic configuration file. This file is typically used for setting BASE, TFTP\_DIRS and TFTP\_BOOT\_DIR. These settings are overwritten by those set in specific tool configs.
