NeoLinux Thin Client User Manual CHAPTER 24 Updating Your Thin Client Software Introduction This chapter describes how to update the software installed in your thin client. The software installed in your thin client can be managed and updated from a remote server using Neoware's ezRemote Manager. This allows an administrator to quickly update or reconfigure thin clients connected to the network without having to leave his desk. All the administrator has to do is install the software update snap-in from Neoware onto the server running ezRemote Manager, then use the Snap-in Manager to update selected thin clients. Please refer to the Neoware ezRemote Manager User Manual for detailed instructions. You can also update software on your thin client using the Software Update facility as described in the next section. Note that you can only update the thin client on which you are running Software Update using this method. 273
