You realize that K12LTSP 6 is based on Fedora Core 6 and that Fedora
Core 6 is no longer supported by the Fedora Project? This means no
security fixes will be released for this distribution. If you're
looking for a long-term solution I advise you to try out K12LTSP 5EL
instead, which is based on CentOS 5, which in turn is a rebuild of
RHEL 5. RHEL/CentOS 5 was released last year and gets 7 years of
security updates.

I can't help you with this, but I'm sure there are people on this list
who can. Have you checked the K12LTSP and LTSP wiki's?
