It is under your thumb - F4:

After installation read all in this page - to get a big picture:

Thanks Asmo,

I had inadvertently tabbed down to check memory, so when I hit f4 I
didn't have an install ltsp-server option. Tabbing back up to install
ubuntu solved my issue. :-P

I would like to jump in here for a moment and highlight that there are multitudes of things that can waylay users who are smart, tech-wise-but-not-experts-in-the-system.* Things that seem trivial to those who have been on the path many times, can be show stoppers to those of us who haven't, this e-mail being a perfect example. This is why the expert users in the community are so critical to the increase in use of Edubuntu.* I know from experience!* THANK YOU EXPERTS!

You're completely right. In my opinion it would be more intuitive to
have it as an option in the installer, but for technical reasons that
haven't been completely possible. There's a chance that we might be
shipping a pre-built LTSP chroot on the disc so that we don't need the
alternate install anymore (will almost half the DVD size) and it will
also allow for a live LTSP session. I speak under correction, but I
think a pre-built ltsp image may also make it much simpler to install it
using an option in the Ubuntu installer, so hopefully we'll be able to
implement all of this for the next release

On a related note. The build-ltsp-chroot step ALWAYS fails on my
servers. This has happened since 7.x and onward. On different servers
from different vendors.

This issue seems to be that I have multiple nics in the machine and
the installer doesn't know/doesn't want to arbitrarily assign my nics.
The fix for me is to delete and rebuild the chroot after install. I
would guess this problem has cropped up for many new users, and
resulted in many "ltsp doesn't work for me" complaints.

cheers,

John

I just used the 32 bit Karmic alternate install disc on a dell optiplex gx240 P4 and the ltsp install option worked fine out of the box. I did have the same problem as you when using Jaunty though. -joe
