Crossover is detecting that your system is missing the 32bit libnss_mdns.so.2 library. Crossover is a 32-bit app, so if you're using a 64-bit OS you might be missing some requisite 32-bit libraries (like libnss_mdns).

As a primer, I recommend you check out the following page on running Crossover on 64-bit Fedora installs:

http://www.codeweavers.com/support/wiki/linux/faq/64bit_fedora

To install 32-bit libnss_mdns on Fedora 14 or 15, you'd use

$ sudo yum install nss-mdns.i686

However I'm a bit unsure as to the exact Fedora version used in "K12LTSP", so that command might be different (i.e. it might be an i586 lib, but the idea is the same).

Does that help?
