The difference is that the Lessdisks packages is provided from the
upstream source, I dont do no rebuilding of the packages.

from 0.6.something it's auto installable.
installing the propper kernel, and the proper addon packages (from
debian Sarge), it supports removable media and local periferals. But it
needs some tweaking.
When it comes to upgradable packaging, I do agree with you, that is why
I dont want "untrained" personel to "do this at home". It _will_ give
lessdisks a bad reputation, and that is not good.
I have of course almost only looked at this from a "diskless
workstation" point of view, and not from an XTerminal point of view.
