I am about as noobie as one gets. I am trying to edit the lts.conf file to enable floppy support on a terminal. The D#$M file is read only and for the life of me I can't figure it out. Any help out would be appreciated.

Welcome to the lug "cmynott" 
I have never seen a "lts.conf" file but all system files can only be altered by "root" user, Most often done by openning the file with a text editor such as Kwrite and saving the changes. :

You would need to know the root password for the terminal server, I think.

To edit files as root you have several options, among them:
- open a console and "su" to root and edit the file with the editor of your choice
- if you prefer a gui editor click tke "K" menu go to "System Tools" - "File Manager - Super User Mode" and click on that. It will ask you for your root password. Browse to the /opt/ltsp/i386/etc directory and right click on the lts.conf file and click open with and choose the text editor you want to use.
- log in as root and browse to the file and edit it as explained above.

UREIKA! I didn't realize that you need to login as root. Thanks for the info Mark. It is much appreciated! Here we go!
